The Aileronial Republic of The DOA is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Gospodin Boris Aileron with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.439 billion Descendiants 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aileron. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Descendian economy, worth 354 trillion ADS a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,031 ADS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The DOA's national animal is the Lutino Rosey Bourke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lateralism.

The DOA is ranked 8,055^th in the world and 4^th in South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,094.08 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
