Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Queendom of Dor Cirion is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Corruthesthera with an even hand, and notable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.153 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 concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nimelond. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dor Cirion's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Animism, and its currency is the Sterling Pound.

Dor Cirion is ranked 20th in Zhaucauozian Friendship and 72,674th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
