The Holy Empire of Greater Doges is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, hard-working population of 314 million Greater Dogesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Doges City. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Dogesian economy, worth 31.6 trillion Gold Brains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,699 Gold Brains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, slavery has been abolished, war criminals are given full state funerals, and the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Doges's national animal is the Rudolph Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater Doges is ranked 140,506^th in the world and 40^th in The Realm of Aussies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
