The United Socialist States of Dootinbow is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Martha Anderson with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 13.495 billion Dootinbowers 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopiaburg. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dootinbowian economy, worth a remarkable 2,986 trillion Dootin Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 221,332 Dootin Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, Martha Anderson's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dootinbow's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Dootinbow is ranked 277,974^th in the world and 263^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
