The United Socialist States of Dunarius is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.546 billion Dunariusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Dunariusian economy, worth 255 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 56,095 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop', dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dunarius's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dunarius is ranked 38,115^th in the world and 2^nd in Aeyrgia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
