The Colony of Red Dome is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.416 billion Red Domeans 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Red Domean economy, worth a remarkable 4,445 trillion Gold Mars Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,848 Gold Mars Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Red Dome's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Red Dome is ranked 620^th in the world and 30^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 183.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
