The People's Republic of Doutum is a small, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 29 million Doutumians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Doutumian economy, worth 1.18 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,811 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The most ambitious parents buy a dozen lottery scratch-cards each week for their kids and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doutum's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Doutum is ranked 312,374^th in the world and 292^nd in Bozarkia for Largest Black Market, with 7.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
