The Dominion of The Dunfermline Collective is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 26 million Dunfermline Collectiveans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Dunfermline Collectivean economy, worth 772 billion credits 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,712 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dunfermline Collective's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Dunfermline Collective is ranked 251,855^th in the world and 4,558^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
