The Aileronial Republic of The DOA is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gospodin Boris Aileron with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.38 billion Descendiants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aileron. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Descendian economy, worth 337 trillion ADS a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,911 ADS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, robosexual marriages are increasingly common, and the ban on cars has been repealed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The DOA's national animal is the Lutino Rosey Bourke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lateralism.

The DOA is ranked 178,308^th in the world and 67^th in South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 112.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
