The Principality of War Dogs IX is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 11.022 billion War Dogs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 3,665 trillion dollars 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, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 332,562 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs IX's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

War Dogs IX is ranked 284,460^th in the world and 159^th in Realm of Dogs for Nicest Citizens, with 0.3 average smiles per day.
