The Empire of War Dogs XVI is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 10.963 billion War Dogs are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.
The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 3,453 trillion bitcoins 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, Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 315,021 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Schools are forbidden to teach anything that might paint the government in a negative light, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and most towns have their Dog O'War High School located on Dog O'War Street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs XVI's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Canis Majorism.
War Dogs XVI is ranked 1,348th in the world and 55th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 23,785.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
