The Empire of Dolphins and Donkeys is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 8.719 billion Dolphins and Donkeysians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Dolphins and Donkeysian economy, worth 568 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,223 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,870 per year while the poor average 13,304, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dolphins and Donkeys's national animal is the dolphindonkey, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Dolphins and Donkeys is ranked 242,191^st in the world and 3^rd in Basic Start for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 585.27 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
