The Dubnium of Db is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the law of nature with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.089 billion Dbians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nucleus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dbian economy, worth a remarkable 3,447 trillion Protons a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 149,306 Protons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,460 per year while the poor average 42,340, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The election for the law of nature's office's janitor is heating up, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the entire entry for Db in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and town welcome signs list corporate sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Db's national animal is the Electron, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Brout-Englert-Higgs.

Db is ranked 8,513^th in the world and 392^nd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,218.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
