The Regional Garrison of Doge Garrison is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 14.473 billion Doges are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.1%.

The very strong Doge Garrisonian economy, worth 747 trillion marks a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,673 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Doge Garrison's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Doge Garrison is ranked 179,158^th in the world and 1^st in Dogeland Alliance for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,828.06 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
