The Free Land of Dohlar is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 180 million Dohlarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Dohlarian economy, worth 12.5 trillion Rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 69,194 Rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 403,938 per year while the poor average 5,576, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.

The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dohlar's national animal is the Black Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Dohlar is ranked 91,521^st in the world and 5^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Nudest, with 174 cheeks per square mile.
