The Empire of War Dogs XVI is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.902 billion War Dogs are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 3,415 trillion bitcoins 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 black market in Information Technology, Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 313,271 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, there is no rest for the widowed, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and one of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs XVI's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Canis Majorism.

War Dogs XVI is ranked 4,540^th in the world and 265^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
