The Cryptic Skeletal Republic of The Dome is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Dominic III with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.578 billion Domans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dome City. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Doman economy, worth 469 trillion Orans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,409 Orans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Dome's national animal is the Doman falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Dome is ranked 252,308^th in the world and 1,232^nd in Europeia for Most Secular, with 12.73 Atheism Rate.
