The Pink Holy District of Dog Lake is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Liard with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 44.531 billion Lakers 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laker economy, worth a remarkable 7,109 trillion aurum gold bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,641 aurum gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dog Lake's national animal is the pink cow bovina, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Dog Lake is ranked 285,392^nd in the world and 50^th in Dog Lake for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
