The District of Dog Lake is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 49.729 billion Lakors are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Lakor economy, worth a remarkable 9,871 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,505 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, art criticism in Dog Lake is scathingly destructive, and children often kick buffaloes for amusement. 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 buffalo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dog Lake is ranked 27,709^th in the world and 1^st in Dog Lake for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,755.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
