The Dictatorship of Duby is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Adalard Romano with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.475 billion Dubyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romagrad. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dubyian economy, worth 882 trillion florins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,206 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, Harry Potter conventions are closely watched by the government for any signs of 'dueling', and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duby's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duby is ranked 226,001st in the world and 207th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,914.68 Standard Monetary Units.
