The United Socialist States of War Dogs IV is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dog o'War with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.349 billion War Dogs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt 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 average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient War Dog economy, worth a remarkable 5,010 trillion gold bars 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 Arms Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 405,775 gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A commonwealth of equal nations recognises that War Dogs IV is a bit more equal than the others, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and postcards from War Dog driving test centres are popular souvenirs. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 17,907^th in the world and 17^th in The Wellspring for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 6,261.57 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
