The State of The Black Dog is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.606 billion Black Dogians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong Black Dogian economy, worth 939 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 43,487 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,279 per year while the poor average 2,726, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The Black Dog has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Black Dog's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Black Dog is ranked 64,163^rd in the world and 1^st in The Black Dog for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,390.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
