The Federal Republic of Dorathia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lexander Fox with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.46 billion Dorathians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durbank. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The Dorathian economy, worth 74.4 trillion retym coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,975 retym coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, agricultural employees work for peanuts, and science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dorathia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dorathia is ranked 56,968^th in the world and 242^nd in Starlight for Nicest Citizens, with 17.01 average smiles per day.
