The Dominion of Dormanston is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 182 million Dormanstonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Dormanstonian economy, worth 4.93 trillion Exchange Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 27,063 Exchange Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dormanston's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dormanston is ranked 31,181^st in the world and 695^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 108.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
