The Evermore of Dorothea- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.495 billion Dorothea-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.6%.

The all-consuming Dorothea-ian economy, worth 848 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,636 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,192 per year while the poor average 26,141, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

The nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dorothea-'s national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dorothea- is ranked 42,948th in the world and 178th in Stereo Hearts for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 168 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
