The Kingdom of Pacoville is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.812 billion 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The Dogish economy, worth 185 trillion Dog Kibbles a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,567 Dog Kibbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacoville's national animal is the Betty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pacoville is ranked 18,409^th in the world and 1^st in The Dog Kennel for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,720.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
