The Queen's State of Yappy Dogs is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 27.036 billion Yappy Dogsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Yappy Dogsian economy, worth 936 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 34,621 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Yappy Dogs's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, Yappy Dogs has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Yappy Dogs in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yappy Dogs's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yappy Dogs is ranked 236,159^th in the world and 8^th in Rabat for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
