The Community of The Dorvan Protectorate of Ferranghia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Admiral's puppet with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.808 billion Dorvanian slaves are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prostration City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dorvanian slave economy, worth a remarkable 4,535 trillion Ferrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 254,676 Ferrs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,622,652 per year while the poor average 16,471, a ratio of 98.5 to 1.

Daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, you can tell when Dorvanian slaves are being snarky by the fact their lips are moving, parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Dorvan Protectorate of Ferranghia's national animal is the Ameba, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Winged Shrimp.

The Dorvan Protectorate of Ferranghia is ranked 327,434^th in the world and 1,414^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.67 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
