The Terrain of Mount Doom is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.887 billion Mount Doomians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
