It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunadd. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, major cities are suffering under water rationing, the people of Dunardry are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime is totally unknown. Dunardry's national animal is the chieftain of the pudding race, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the groat.
