The Republic of War Dogs CXCVIII is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dog O'War with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.197 billion War Dogs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Canine economy, worth 862 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 205,524 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, and justice is available only to those who can afford its price tag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs CXCVIII's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Canis Majorism.

War Dogs CXCVIII is ranked 189,837^th in the world and 287^th in Realm of Dogs for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 307.62 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
