The Kingdom of Dou Boux is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Charles V with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 21.008 billion Dou Bouxians 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.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Bouxiana. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dou Bouxian economy, worth a remarkable 2,360 trillion Dou Bouxian Pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,364 Dou Bouxian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, many believe that Charles V's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dou Boux's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Dou Boux is ranked 2,603^rd in the world and 121^st in Balder for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 12,002.85 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
