The War Doctor of John Hurt is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The War Doctor with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.178 billion Gallifreyans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 58.1%.

The powerhouse Gallifreyan economy, worth 580 trillion moments a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 80,817 moments, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, and punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Hurt's national animal is the zygon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Science.

John Hurt is ranked 86,437^th in the world and 11^th in The Doctors for Highest Average Incomes, with 80,817.3 Standard Monetary Units.
