The Federal Republic of Dotistan is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.298 billion Dotistanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.4%.

The very strong Dotistanian economy, worth 98.0 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 75,463 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dotistan's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dotistan is ranked 64,752^nd in the world and 3,396^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
