The Grand and Most Serene Duchy of Unimaginable Doom is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand Ducal Highness Lucius Verus II with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 14.333 billion Duxians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astor Citadel. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dux economy, worth a remarkable 3,700 trillion Gold Sovereigns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 258,198 Gold Sovereigns, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, customers who are not the epitome of politeness always find themselves at the back of the queue, all beauty contests have been banned, and suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unimaginable Doom's national animal is the Sable Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Unimaginable Doom is ranked 159,153^rd in the world and 8,358^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -606.2 on the Hayek Index.
