The Holy Empire of Doge 30 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Doge XXX with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.253 billion Doge 30ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallenburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.1%.

The all-consuming Doge 30ian economy, worth 377 trillion florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 88,541 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,666 per year while the poor average 19,333, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Playing card suits are sold separately, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, and the tobacco industry has burnt out. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doge 30's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Doge 30 is ranked 292,008^th in the world and 52^nd in DogeLand for Nicest Citizens, with 0.68 average smiles per day.
