The Republic of Dumuko is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 358 million Dumukoans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Dumukoan economy, worth 3.87 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 10,816 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dumuko's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dumuko is ranked 283,134^th in the world and 1,981^st in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 358 million capita.
