The Grand Duchy of Dovent is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 86 million Doventians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The powerhouse Doventian economy, worth 7.94 trillion Haks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 92,306 Haks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, the Dovent City Film Festival recently voted 'Doventian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime is totally unknown. Dovent's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Dovent is ranked 300,928^th in the world and 82^nd in Mauravia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
