The Holy Empire of Not Doge Land 1 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Fern I with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, state-planned economy, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.674 billion ferns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fern City. The average income tax rate is 51.2%.

The large but inefficient a fern economy, worth 294 trillion fern coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 44,199 fern coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not Doge Land 1's national animal is the moving fern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fernism.

Not Doge Land 1 is ranked 218,615^th in the world and 4^th in Fern for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
