 The Dohing Dohers of Lyon county

"If i Can't see you, you can't see me."


The Dohing Dohers of Lyon county is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.104 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, military spending recently hit a new high, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Lyon county, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lyon county's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the USD.
