The Moist Salty Undersea Domain of Dosidicus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 44.853 billion Dosidicusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dosidicusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion ringlets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,206 ringlets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, cars are banned, euthanasia is legal, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dosidicus's national animal is the ink jet printer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dosidicus is ranked 8,403rd in the world and 2nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Stationary, with 2,593.69689558848 days.
