The Democratic Space Republic of Eastern Doncaster is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rex Supernova with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.464 billion Doncasterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colonia. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Doncasterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,266 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,792 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Doncaster's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Doncaster is ranked 17,963^rd in the world and 447^th in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,399.43 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
