The Dancing Butterflies of Dom Queesom is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.714 billion Dom Queesomians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 45.7%.

The all-consuming Dom Queesomian economy, worth 819 trillion rupees a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,183 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Evidence-based arguments can be arrestable offenses, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, a crystal a day keeps the establishment away, and cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dom Queesom's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dom Queesom is ranked 273,349th in the world and 55th in One big Island for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -55.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
