The Commonwealth of Henry Dodge is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Henry Dodge with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.883 billion Henry Dodgeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dodgevile. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Henry Dodgean economy, worth 348 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 59,309 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The public transport system has been eliminated, there's a bright dawn ahead for Henry Dodge, retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, and a stitch in time could see you serving nine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henry Dodge's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.
Henry Dodge is ranked 206,542nd in the world and 1st in Dodgeville for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 37.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
