“The Man's Best Friend”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of San Dogs is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Three-Brain Monkey with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.052 billion San Dogsians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hochester. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.4%.

The frighteningly efficient San Dogsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,144 trillion Rocks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 226,509 Rocks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,047,474 per year while the poor average 29,550, a ratio of 35.4 to 1.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Dogs's national animal is the Holy Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

San Dogs is ranked 20,216^th in the world and 16^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Black Market, with 181 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
