The Anarchist State of Dogteeth is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lucky with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.493 billion Dogteethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pawstep City. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dogteethian economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,599 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Dogteeth, and a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dogteeth's national animal is the mongrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dogteeth is ranked 322,280^th in the world and 360^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
