The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 101 million Dotopolisians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dotopolisian economy, worth 8.08 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,032 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

It's often raining men (hallelujah) in Dotopolis City, bris parties are all the rage, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotopolis is ranked 65,422nd in the world and 1,500th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 21.53 flags saluted per person per day.
