The United States of War Dogs IV is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Dog o'War with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.249 billion War Dogs 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 large, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WD Central. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 9,248 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 569,153 golds, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, concussed Dogball players cannot remember their lineup position, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Dogs IV's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

War Dogs IV is ranked 326,797^th in the world and 163^rd in The Wellspring for Nicest Citizens, with 0.26 average smiles per day.
