The Unitary Republic of Doulant is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Aurelius Marcellus with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.29 billion Doulantese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esemihburg. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doulantese economy, worth 659 trillion Doulantese Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 153,818 Doulantese Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and glamping Doulantese won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doulant's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Doulant is ranked 5,141^st in the world and 1^st in Respublica Romana Libera for Lowest Crime Rates, with 115.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
