The Republic of Doctorian is a colossal, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.333 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doctorian City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39%. 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.

The government has enacted freedom of information, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Doctorian's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the doctor.

Doctorian is ranked 3rd in Evil and 79,311th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 6 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
