The Republic of Donnatallow is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.855 billion Donnatallowians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.1%.

The all-consuming Donnatallowian economy, worth 154 trillion doubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,321 doubloons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 445,310 per year while the poor average 8,176, a ratio of 54.5 to 1.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, builders across Donnatallow are blocked up with orders for new public loos, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donnatallow's national animal is the mantis shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Donnatallow is ranked 32,198^th in the world and 2^nd in Aetherius for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 54.46 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
