The United Socialist States of The Doremians is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 262 million Doremians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Doremian economy, worth 12.0 trillion Doremian Notes a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,975 Doremian Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', the recycled air in planes is nauseating, and criminals identify as innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Doremians's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Doremians is ranked 38,112th in the world and 35th in Eladria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,335.55 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
