The Sahraqanate of Dhorvas is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sahraqan Torgun with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.503 billion Dhorvasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Defense, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhorvatai. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Dhorvasian economy, worth 417 trillion loots 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 39,759 loots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, racial supremacists have a burning desire to deal with immigrants, Sahraqan Torgun has just been declared ruler of Dhorvas in an international press conference, and Dhorvas has designated Dhorvatai as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dhorvas's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dhorvas is ranked 87,183rd in the world and 15th in Arkonos for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
