The Republic of Doe Islands is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 135 million Doe Islandsians 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, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Doe Islandsian economy, worth 8.31 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 61,520 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, billions of lire are being poured into a space program, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, and a government program is underway to revitalize Doe Islands's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doe Islands's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Doe Islands is ranked 24,718th in the world and 4th in The Blue Star Union for Nicest Citizens, with 20.7 average smiles per day.
