Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Neo-Terran Republic of Doppio Giudici is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Seth with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate population of 1.028 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberus. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Doppio Giudici's radio stations, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doppio Giudici's national animal is the Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The New Way, and its currency is the Terran Credit.

Doppio Giudici is ranked 12th in The World Alliance and 32,615th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
