The DuSCARE of Duscor is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Meti Urra with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.859 billion Duscorans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linaesus. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Duscoran economy, worth 167 trillion Palzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,645 Palzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the internal market is thriving, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Duscor's national animal is the gray wolf.

Duscor is ranked 37,135^th in the world and 5^th in Timoria for Smartest Citizens, with 50.8 quips per hour.
