The Please Shut Up of Doin The Cockroach is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.74 billion Doin The Cockroachians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The cowboy scene. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Doin The Cockroachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion cowboy dans 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 162,148 cowboy dans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 461,604 per year while the poor average 45,444, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

A recent political debate came to a quick close once the ruling party decreed it was "just plain silly", jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doin The Cockroach's national animal is the cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Doin The Cockroach is ranked 8,663rd in the world and 508th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,101.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
