The Francisco Sendrijas Pet of The Guardian Mastiff is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tönpa Shenrab Miwoche with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 24.456 billion Guardian Mastiffians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lhasa. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Guardian Mastiffian economy, worth a remarkable 2,845 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,341 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, television executives are interested in turning Tönpa Shenrab Miwoche's zany home life into a sitcom, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and foreign visitors are wary of being kidnapped and swapped for military hostages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Guardian Mastiff's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bön.

The Guardian Mastiff is ranked 39,781st in the world and 4th in The Beech Beach House for Most Patriotic, with 32.43 flags saluted per person per day.
