The WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF of Salty Dog is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 45.556 billion Salty Dogians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient Salty Dogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,205 trillion squeak toys a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,458 squeak toys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, vegetarianism is compulsory, military spending is on the increase, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salty Dog's national animal is the ein.
Salty Dog is ranked 204,375th in the world and 48th in United States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 37.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
