The United Socialist States of War Dogs IV is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.629 billion War Dogs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.
The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 5,471 trillion candy canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 433,257 candy canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs IV's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.
War Dogs IV is ranked 324,494th in the world and 245th in The Wellspring for Most Pacifist, with 4.92 cheeks turned per day.
