The Dubiously Deestablished Cult of Doge Republics is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Council on Preservation of Dignity with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, spontaneously combusting cars, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 18.38 billion citizen-individuals are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Settlement One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient a citizen-individual economy, worth a remarkable 5,936 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 322,999 ethically-sourced souls, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. 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 8,132^nd in the world and 20^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 175.98 kickbacks per hour.
