The People's Republic of Donestk is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Denis Pushilin with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.851 billion Donestkians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donestk. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Donestkian economy, worth 176 trillion Rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 95,371 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, there's a bright dawn ahead for Donestk, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and the sanitised and dull music festivals of Donestk are famed for their reasonable volume levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Donestk's national animal is the Nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Donestk is ranked 67,194^th in the world and 17^th in Warzone Asia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,813.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
