The People's Republic of Dovant is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Premier Sam Hawkins with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.45 billion Dovantians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soren. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dovantian economy, worth a remarkable 2,731 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 323,265 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and translators are keen to explain feline MPs' claw and ordure policies. Crime is totally unknown. Dovant's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dovant is ranked 277,045^th in the world and 1,436^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.27 crimes per hour.
