The City of Douala is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by a leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, flagrant waste-dumping, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.753 billion Doualans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douala. The average income tax rate is 37.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Doualan economy, worth a remarkable 5,724 trillion xafs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 186,138 xafs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, organ donation is compulsory, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and the first sword of Douala does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Douala's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Douala is ranked 20,062^nd in the world and 1,154^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,137.25 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
