The Federation of Doge Republics is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Doge with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 13.715 billion Shibes enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shibe City. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shibe economy, worth a remarkable 4,017 trillion dogecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 292,912 dogecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, major cities run on potato batteries, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doge Republics's national animal is the shibe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shibeism.

Doge Republics is ranked 2,426^th in the world and 1^st in The Federation of Conservative Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 755.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
