The Dogs of POPULICA is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Contolus Contolatus with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.819 billion POPULICAians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Populidog. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient POPULICAian economy, worth a remarkable 1,457 trillion POPS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 302,431 POPS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,502,426 per year while the poor average 34,439, a ratio of 43.6 to 1.

Politicians look weirdly alike, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and lavish state dinners in Populidog are the state's leading budgetary expenditure. Crime is totally unknown. POPULICA's national animal is the Dogedoge, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Contolustus.

POPULICA is ranked 53,780th in the world and 821st in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 819.90775998092 days.
