The Republic of Donsalia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Marisa Samdirem with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.26 billion Donsalians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samdita. The average income tax rate is 89.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Donsalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion Pas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,101 Pas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Donsalians, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police. Crime is totally unknown. Donsalia's national animal is the Tusetian Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Donsalia is ranked 18,839^th in the world and 796^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
