The Consulate of Doundaly is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by First Consul Nolen Plantage with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 5.099 billion Doundalians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Doundalian economy, worth 604 trillion galds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,639 galds, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, edutainment video games are taking Doundaly's students to the next level, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doundaly's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult Of Shrek.

Doundaly is ranked 15,886^th in the world and 500^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,167.77 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
