The Republic of War Dogs LVI is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dog O'War with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.071 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized 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 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Canine economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 251,917 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation tends not to learn from its history, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs LVI's national animal is the dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Canis Majorism.

War Dogs LVI is ranked 14,055^th in the world and 248^th in Realm of Dogs for Most Patriotic, with 60.95 flags saluted per person per day.
