The Republic of Dolba is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Steve Irwin with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.73 billion Dolbans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perth. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Dolban economy, worth 414 trillion DFDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,538 DFDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dolba's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dolba is ranked 203,167^th in the world and 2,926^th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -84.02 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
