The Redooblic of Doobland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Doobert McDoobertson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.04 billion Kappas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dooblin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kappian economy, worth 516 trillion Doobloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 127,953 Doobloons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 645,233 per year while the poor average 14,146, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, Kappas also serve as great lightning rods, and slavers are real nutters. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Doobland's national animal is the Jerboas, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Doobism.

Doobland is ranked 25,867th in the world and 4th in Chaos land for Most Cultured, scoring 82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
