The Terrain of Mount Doom is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.719 billion Mount Doomians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Doom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The thriving Mount Doomian economy, worth 116 trillion rings a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 67,661 rings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 464,261 per year while the poor average 3,534, a ratio of 131 to 1.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, a major religion has been named as Mount Doom's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Mount Doom in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mount Doom's national animal is the wraith, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mount Doom is ranked 44,877th in the world and 5th in Mordor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,940.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
