The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a small, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Dotopolisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 12.2%.

The thriving Dotopolisian economy, worth 3.06 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 76,399 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, euthanasia is legal, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBD Governor goes house hunting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotopolis is ranked 95,441^st in the world and 2,450^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,130.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
