The Principality of The Realm of Dorne is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Princess Arianne Martell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.547 billion Dornish 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 Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunspear. The average income tax rate is 36.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dornish economy, worth 338 trillion dragons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 132,710 dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Viper Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime is totally unknown. The Realm of Dorne's national animal is the Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Realm of Dorne is ranked 213,773^rd in the world and 1,820^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 356 billion Standard Monetary Units.
