The United Confederation of Dowaesk is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ahmed Khoussary ibn Al-Qarnayn with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.323 billion Divians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Male'. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dowaeskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,054 trillion Rufiyaas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 166,746 Rufiyaas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dowaesk's national animal is the Red Snapper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Dowaesk is ranked 2,710^th in the world and 125^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 133.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
