The Hegemony of Dontaria is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.936 billion Dontarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prage. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dontarian economy, worth an astonishing 18,587 trillion labour tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 932,346 labour tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dontaria's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
