The Theocracy of Blue Dog Anchorite is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning vonari population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10.676 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Trout Farming and Woodchip Exports.

All tariffs have been abolished, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is relatively low. Blue Dog Anchorite's national animal is the vonari, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the otherland.

Blue Dog Anchorite is ranked 7th in Peace and 42,883rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 26 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
