The Grand Duchy of Doglanda is a huge, genial nation, ruled by National Council of Doglandia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 857 million Dogs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Houndford. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Dogish economy, worth 25.1 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,337 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doglanda's national animal is the wolf.

Doglanda is ranked 294,775^th in the world and 1,862^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 29.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
