The Federation of Doundaly is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Edmo with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 2.74 billion Doundalians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doundalian economy, worth 300 trillion galds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,511 galds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Doundalian as 'your finger, you fool', President Edmo's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and reddish-brown is the new black. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doundaly's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult Of Shrek.

Doundaly is ranked 10,779^th in the world and 308^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.25 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
