The Armed Republic of Doodads is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Greaseman with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.396 billion Doodadsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bilderburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.8%.

The strong Doodadsian economy, worth 373 trillion Martinis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,167 Martinis, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through Greaseman's window to draw attention to their issues, one of the most popular models in Doodads has a scarred face and one working eye, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, and no-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doodads's national animal is the Sanddragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Vedulism.

Doodads is ranked 150,828^th in the world and 3^rd in Probing Uranus for Largest Governments, scoring 11.92 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
