The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 124 million Dotopolisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Dotopolisian economy, worth 10.2 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 81,869 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Prank shows are so hot right now, the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals, and the government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotopolis is ranked 91,779^th in the world and 2,512^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 90.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
