The Artist Formerly Known As of Dollystana is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Your Meowjesty Queen Dolly with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.255 billion Dollystanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meowth City. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dollystanian economy, worth 812 trillion Dolly Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 98,418 Dolly Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, elected officials who disagree with Your Meowjesty Queen Dolly have a lot of accidents, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and the official Dollystanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown. Dollystana's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meow-Sect of the Baloominati.

Dollystana is ranked 3,842^nd in the world and 194^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,353.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
