The Friends of Dorothy Gale is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Wizard of Oz with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.278 billion Friend of Dorothies enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emerald City. The average income tax rate is 6.8%.

The strong Friend of Dorothy economy, worth 600 trillion rainbows a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 64,723 rainbows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Dorothy Gale has designated Emerald City as its capital city, The Wizard of Oz has just been declared ruler of Dorothy Gale in an international press conference, and Glindaism has been named as Dorothy Gale's national religion. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dorothy Gale's national animal is the Cairn Terrier and its national religion is Glindaism.

Dorothy Gale is ranked 283,686th in the world and 9,663rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 5.17285780048 days.
