The Republic of Dustinesia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Stephen Isakov with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.11 billion Dustinesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Seraph. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Dustinesian economy, worth 65.2 trillion solids a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,886 solids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dustinesia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.
Dustinesia is ranked 229,084th in the world and 444th in 10000 Islands for Most Conservative, scoring 37.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
