The United Socialist States of Dugin is a small, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 20 million Duginians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Duginian economy, worth 344 billion Dugin-Rubels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 17,208 Dugin-Rubels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dugin's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dugin is ranked 307,187^th in the world and 668^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Incomes, with 17,208.98 Standard Monetary Units.
