The Super-Emporium and Moonbase of Doowekal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Archon with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.745 billion Doowekalites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rodes Southwest. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Doowekalite economy, worth a remarkable 3,062 trillion Wampas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 260,717 Wampas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,234,103 per year while the poor average 32,571, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doowekal's national animal is the Gundark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bob's Baptist Church and Grill.

Doowekal is ranked 4,292nd in the world and 440th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 246.27 kickbacks per hour.
