The Mt Army Museum of The Watchdog is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Everyone with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 21.078 billion Watchdogs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montgomery. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Watchdog economy, worth 447 trillion Citas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,248 Citas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Watchdog has designated Montgomery as its capital city and Everyone has just been declared ruler of The Watchdog in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Watchdog's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Watchdog is ranked 93,502nd in the world and 1st in The SPLC for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
