The Second Socialist Republic of Doundaly is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kenton Rowe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.044 billion Doundalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pratka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Doundalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,145 trillion galds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,478 galds, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doundaly's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Doundaly is ranked 267,239^th in the world and 3,690^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 6.78 Obesity Rate.
