The United Republics of Dormill and Stiura is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Augustine Paulissen with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.836 billion Doraltics hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cour Rouge. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doraltic economy, worth a remarkable 8,308 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 348,571 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime is totally unknown. Dormill and Stiura's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dormill and Stiura is ranked 1,096^th in the world and 2^nd in The Western Isles for Most Cultured, scoring 358 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
