The State of Douze is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.037 billion Douzeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse Douzean economy, worth a remarkable 1,515 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,823 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 162,500 per year while the poor average 10,930, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, surveillance cameras are banned, all tariffs have been abolished, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Douze's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Douze is ranked 231,922nd in the world and 5th in Comoros for Safest, scoring 19.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
