The Democratic Republic of DOLYKA is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Alemagne with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.142 billion DOLYKAians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient DOLYKAian economy, worth 616 trillion DOLYKOINS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,954 DOLYKOINS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, economists claim no news is good news, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DOLYKA's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DOLYKA is ranked 41,524^th in the world and 1,110^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 119,954.88 Standard Monetary Units.
