The Empire of Donridia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Imperial Justice Derrin Vane with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.45 billion Donridians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vane. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Donridian economy, worth 181 trillion Dons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,429 Dons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and news headlines usually include p-values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donridia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Donridia is ranked 72,148^th in the world and 25^th in Britannia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,100.45 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
