The State of Sheepdog is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The democratic population of 26.558 billion Sheepdogians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sheepdogian economy, worth 784 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 29,546 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheepdog's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sheepdog is ranked 287,226^th in the world and 1^st in Sheepdog for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,559.67 Standard Monetary Units.
