The Armed Republic of Doodads is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Greaseman with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.697 billion Doodadsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bilderburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.2%.

The strong Doodadsian economy, worth 393 trillion Martinis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,098 Martinis, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

One of the most popular models in Doodads has a scarred face and one working eye, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, no-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doodads's national animal is the Sanddragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Vedulism.

Doodads is ranked 103,908^th in the world and 2^nd in Probing Uranus for Highest Average Incomes, with 69,098.86 Standard Monetary Units.
