The State of Fort Douglas is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 29.87 billion Fort Douglasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The strong Fort Douglasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,443 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,317 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, armed police units patrol the roads late at night, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Fort Douglas is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is moderate. Fort Douglas's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fort Douglas is ranked 242,745^th in the world and 6^th in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
