Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Dharmarajya is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 452 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dharmarajya City. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Tourism and Arms Manufacturing.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Tigerdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, and Tiger is one of the most popular forenames in Dharmarajya. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dharmarajya's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Rupee.

Dharmarajya is ranked 1st in The United Peace Front and 79,755th in the world for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 0 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
