The Allied States of Doughworld is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 29 million Doughworldians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The developing Doughworldian economy, worth 793 billion doughs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,355 doughs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, military funding has been stripped back, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, and more than one company makes the board game Monopoly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doughworld's national animal is the pizza man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Doughworld is ranked 116,699^th in the world and 73^rd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,670.34 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
