The Republic of War Dogs CCXCVII is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dog O'War with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.872 billion War Dogs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Canine economy, worth 818 trillion dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 an amazing 211,263 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 669,834 per year while the poor average 50,801, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Families are only permitted to have one child, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and former slaves are free to be oppressed. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. War Dogs CCXCVII's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Canis Majorism.

War Dogs CCXCVII is ranked 101,806^th in the world and 610^th in Realm of Dogs for Most Conservative, scoring 68.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
