The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a small, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20 million Dotopolisians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The thriving Dotopolisian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Kritiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 74,852 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The carcasses of double-deckers can be found littering high streets all around the country, children as young as eight can be found working in factories, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Dotopolis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dotopolis's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotopolis is ranked 56,195^th in the world and 1,727^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
