The Grand and Most Serene Duchy of Unimaginable Doom is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by His Grand Ducal Highness Verus I with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.322 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 Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chance. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government is avowedly atheist, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Chance. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unimaginable Doom's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Gold Sovereign.

Unimaginable Doom is ranked 219th in The North Pacific and 6,092nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 86 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
