The Corsair State of Dosteovania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Generalleutnant Eckardt Reitter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.144 billion Dosteovanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dostenburg. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dosteovanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,470 trillion Deutschers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,028 Deutschers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vacationing Dosteovanians expect to be treated as royalty, anyone who sleeps in past 9am can be declared legally dead, Mona Lola's famous mysterious smile is being altered to resemble Generalleutnant Eckardt Reitter's enigmatic grin, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dosteovania's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dosteovania is ranked 10,842nd in the world and 854th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 148.13 kickbacks per hour.
