The Dominion of Dusk and Doom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Duskan Doom IV with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, devout population of 4.469 billion Wyrms are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duskwind City. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Duskan economy, worth 448 trillion Wyrms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,300 Wyrms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dusk and Doom's national animal is the Dusk Wyrm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Creed of the Wyrm.

Dusk and Doom is ranked 37,866^th in the world and 598^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 219.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
