The Federal Republic of Dubhalta is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.288 billion Dubhaltans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Public Transport receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The powerhouse Dubhaltan economy, worth 874 trillion petroliras a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,105 petroliras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 147,885 per year while the poor average 9,221, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and divorce is illegal. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dubhalta's national animal is the black petrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dubhalta is ranked 204,121^st in the world and 1^st in Black Mist Federation for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.19 kickbacks per hour.
