The Grand and Most Serene Duchy of Unimaginable Doom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Ducal Highness Lucius Verus II with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 18.452 billion Duxians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astor Citadel. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dux economy, worth a remarkable 5,068 trillion Gold Sovereigns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 274,710 Gold Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, government projects are full of waste, Dux watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and nations that kill a Duxian can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unimaginable Doom's national animal is the Sable Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Unimaginable Doom is ranked 157,512^th in the world and 8,875^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 5.62 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
