The Cosmos of Dotopolis is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.126 billion Dotopolisians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Springs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dotopolisian economy, worth 106 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 94,331 Kritiks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,461 per year while the poor average 26,177, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

A major religion has been named as Dotopolis's national religion, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dotopolis is ranked 9,515th in the world and 269th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 96.11 Atheism Rate.
