The Aileronial Republic of The DOA is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gospodin Boris Aileron with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.355 billion Descendiants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aileron. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Descendian economy, worth 331 trillion ADS a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,699 ADS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and robosexual marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The DOA's national animal is the Lutino Rosey Bourke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lateralism.

The DOA is ranked 45,214^th in the world and 15^th in South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 78.45 on the Human Development Index.
