The Confederacy of The Dodo Republic is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Robert Ross with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.774 billion Dodoians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Valkyrie. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dodoian economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion Raptor pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,656 Raptor pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Extreme hiring regulations mean a job in The Dodo Republic is often a lifetime appointment, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dodo Republic's national animal is the Dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dodoian Catholicism.

The Dodo Republic is ranked 7,079^th in the world and 186^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
