“Progress Under the Law, Without Fear or Favor!”

The Revolutionary Commonwealth of Wagdog is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Stewardess Christine Friedrich with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.223 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tailville DR. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Innocent defendants often plea guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, refugees from other nations are flocking to Wagdog's border, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Wagdog's national animal is the Chimera, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Fiat.

Wagdog is ranked 9th in the region and 6,720th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
