The Democratic Republic of Dotopolis is a small, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 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 13.8%.

The thriving Dotopolisian economy, worth 2.14 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 73,778 Kritiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, the new one Kritik coin also makes a handy throwing-star, all streets are privately owned toll roads, and children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet. 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 27,929^th in the world and 682^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,789.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
