The Hegemony of Dontaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.729 billion Dontarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prage. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dontarian economy, worth an astonishing 11,895 trillion labour tokens 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 807,601 labour tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the government spends billions to protect Dontaria from a disaster that is one in a million, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dontaria's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dontaria is ranked 294,036th in the world and 136th in Right to Life for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
