The Port City of Greater Dunlain is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Lily West with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.395 billion Dunlainians 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmyra. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Dunlainian economy, worth 402 trillion Guilds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 74,646 Guilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, and it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Dunlain's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Greater Dunlain is ranked 54,864^th in the world and 1,041^st in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,987.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
