The Pound of Tvania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by An Aspin with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.917 billion Doggies enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barking. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Dog economy, worth a remarkable 1,627 trillion Treats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,484 Treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lobbying has been outlawed, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of An Aspin, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime is totally unknown. Tvania's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dog Worship.

Tvania is ranked 78,544^th in the world and 1,390^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 17.93 flags saluted per person per day.
