The Dominion of Dormanston is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 151 million Dormanstonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Dormanstonian economy, worth 4.07 trillion Exchange Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 26,928 Exchange Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, chickens roam the streets freely, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Dormanston City to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dormanston's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dormanston is ranked 106,807^th in the world and 964^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,856.24 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
