The People's Empire of Dongming is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor of the Dongming Empire with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.406 billion Han Chinese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Changxing. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dongmingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,505 trillion EmpireRenminbis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 219,705 EmpireRenminbis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dongming's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the Dongming Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, it turns out that trees grow on EmpireRenminbis, and guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Dongming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dongming's national animal is the Kirin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taoism.

Dongming is ranked 9,634^th in the world and 516^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 116 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
