Doom use wikipedia? When he has some of the finest libraries in the world (or I always imagine he has). Pah!
I'm also more of a fan of Doom as being a GOOD, if totalitarian, ruler of Latveria. His people wouldn't look malnourished, they'd look healthy and well fed (because that's what a ruler's subjects SHOULD look like), but always ever so slightly apprehensive, verging on terrified.
