Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Royal Bavarian Kingdom of Dorlania is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Most Royal King Maximilian V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.562 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of München. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Black eagles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dorlania's national animal is the Black eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is the Imperial Church of Bavaria, and its currency is the Gulden Ruble.

Dorlania is ranked 1st in Amerikanisch Empiredom and 944th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
