The Free Republic of Doge Republics is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Great Citizen-Individuals' Free Assembly with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 19 billion citizen-individuals enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Settlement One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient citizen-individual economy, worth a remarkable 6,271 trillion ethically-sourced souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 330,089 ethically-sourced souls, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy citizen-individuals like vultures, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, the nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Doge Republics's national animal is the domesticated demon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Counter-Luciferian Thought.

Doge Republics is ranked 2,397^th in the world and 12^th in the Plains of Perdition for Smartest Citizens, with 182.52 quips per hour.
