The Principality of The Realm of Dorne is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Princess Arianne Martell with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.585 billion Dornish enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunspear. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dornish economy, worth 341 trillion dragons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 132,167 dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
