The Republic of War Dogs XXIII is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.546 billion War Dogs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 86.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Canine economy, worth a remarkable 3,906 trillion dollars 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 311,379 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, the Canine Intelligence Agency relies on rumour and guidebooks to know what is happening overseas, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs XXIII'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 XXIII is ranked 4,260th in the world and 100th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,723.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
