Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Social Democracy of Domiconia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.789 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Brislington. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Soda Sales.

Nudity is frowned upon, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, notable individuals are granted land and titles, and waste is frequently shipped to other countries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Domiconia's national animal is the Sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Burrowsism, and its currency is the Peso.

Domiconia is ranked 41st in USSR and 37,852nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
