The Brutality of Salty Sea Dog is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 40.254 billion Salty Sea Dogians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Salty Sea Dogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion golden coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Book Publishing. 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 25,884 golden coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salty Sea Dog's national animal is the minkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Salty Sea Dog is ranked 13,980th in the world and 8th in Caribbean for Most Stationary, with 1,855.840131706 days.
