The Imperial Caninese Empire of The Canine Race is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Zymaamkh with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.262 billion Canines are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khanisia'dakida. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Caninese economy, worth a remarkable 1,193 trillion Claws a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 190,522 Claws, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, and lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Canine Race's national animal is the Canine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Canine Way.
The Canine Race is ranked 126,774th in the world and 2,626th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 268.07689093068 days.
