The Empire of Dominuses is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 26 million Dominusesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Dominusesian economy, worth 1.59 trillion Hells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,029 Hells, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dominuses's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dominuses is ranked 87,095^th in the world and 87^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,412.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
