The Dominion of War Dogs XXIV is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.918 billion War Dogs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

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 WD Central. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 3,756 trillion pounds 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 Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 344,038 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs XXIV's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

War Dogs XXIV is ranked 148,728^th in the world and 3,188^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 459.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
