The Federation of Doundaly is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Edmo with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.479 billion Doundalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doundalian economy, worth 266 trillion galds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,530 galds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new biography of President Edmo is subtitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate the Bomb", teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and all the world's a stage for Doundalian political theatrics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doundaly's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult Of Shrek.

Doundaly is ranked 55,073^rd in the world and 1,865^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,565.95 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
