The Republic of Dutania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Princeps Leo Lionis with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.451 billion Dutanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand-Dutania. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dutanian economy, worth 133 trillion Dutanian Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,191 Dutanian Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, billions of Dutanian Coins are being poured into a space program, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dutania's national animal is the Dutanian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dutania is ranked 202,570^th in the world and 10,104^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 25.45 on the Hayek Index.
