Location: The Serene Empire of Tranquility

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Tranquil Empire of Daodoma is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 718 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber City. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All-natural foods are becoming a major fad, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, children have only the most basic of education, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daodoma's national animal is the Bengal Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Shan.

Daodoma is ranked 1st in The Serene Empire of Tranquility and 90,885th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
