The State of Lord Douglas is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.997 billion Lord Douglasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.

The thriving Lord Douglasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,715 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, Lord Douglas has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Lord Douglas in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lord Douglas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lord Douglas is ranked 225,752^nd in the world and 4^th in British Columbia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
