The Colony of Sheep Dog is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 808 million Sheep Dogians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Sheep Dogian economy, worth 42.4 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,535 aurums, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sheep Dog's national animal is the buffalo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sheep Dog is ranked 151,681^st in the world and 2^nd in Saskatoon for Most Developed, scoring 55.89 on the Human Development Index.
