The Military Superpower of One Happy Dog is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Doogy with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.651 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brooklyn. The average income tax rate is 68%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, billions of Golden Retrievers are being blown on orbital weapons development, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. One Happy Dog's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is IronPig, and its currency is the Golden Retriever.

One Happy Dog is ranked 2nd in Dog World and 5,624th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 14 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
