The **Republic of Dogelandia** (**R.D.L. or RDL**), commonly known as **Dogelandia**, is a virtual country located in its respective Discord server. It consists of one single state. With a population of over 120 (as of December 2021), it is the most populous Doge country in the world.

Dogelandia is a republic with two separate branches of government, including a judiciary-legislative system, or the Republic Court (also known as the High Court). It is a liberal democracy and market economy; it ranks high in measures of income, wealth, and economic competitiveness; and it has low levels of perceived corruption. It has low levels of incarceration and inequality and allows hard bans as a form of punishment.

Dogelandia is a highly developed country, as well as self-sufficient, thriving under its own domestic economy and relying on nothing imported. The United States is a founding member of the United Doge Nations.

## History

### Prepublicized Era

Dogelandia before its public discovery was practically a blank slate for any settlers (future pioneers). As the nation developed, the foothold documents were being written and led with some help from Adrian. Along with government structures and lawbooks, the Elucidation was being written around this time.

The orignal flag, along with other early symbols, were designed in this period.

After the first lawbooks were written, the novice government focused its attention towards gathering citizens, and ultimately decided spreading word would be the best option. The production shift into propaganda around October 2020 brought more settlers in, thus transitioning the nation into the Early Era.

## Government and politics

### Government structure

Dogelandia's main government consists of two branches: the Presidential House and the High Republic Court, as defined by the Official Lawbook.

The Presidential House is home to the President and Vice President (and any advisors), who write laws, handle public welfare, and provide public services. The Presidential House sends laws to the Republic Court to pass, and the Court can send proposed laws to the President to pass. The president serves a three-month term and may be elected to the office no more than four consecutive times, adding up to a total of one year. The president is elected by direct vote by the citizens.

The High Republic Court is home to five court representatives, who pass or veto laws, and judge important cases. Each court representative holds the position for life, unless they retire or are discharged. The Court is unique among the government in being the most prestigious and powerful portion of the country's system; Dogelandian political scientists have frequently labeled it the "most powerful upper house" of any government.

### Law enforcement

Law in Dogelandia is mainly enforced by local police departments and sheriff's offices, namely the Dogelandia Law Enforcement (D.L.L.E.). The state police provides broader services, and federal agencies such as the Doge Watch Committee (DWC) have specialized duties, such as protecting civil rights and national security.

In 2021, the total jail population for those sentenced to more than a week is 2, corresponding to a ratio of 1 per 60 residents. Banning, as a punishment, is sanctioned in Dogelandia for certain extreme crimes. Since 2020, there have been more than 3 bans.

## Economy

Dogelandia's economy is based on a free market system, where citizens may set up their own businesses and join other companies in order to gain revenue.

The country's official currency is the Dogi, which uses Ɗ for large notes and ḋ, as a subcurrency. One DLD is equivalent to approximately 67.1 USD (as of December 2022).

## Expansion attempts

The RDL has made many attempts at expanding their influence in the virtual world, notably under President Mafia and President Nixon's use of foreign policy. The nation has owned one puppet state, Dogetopia, before its later independence.

## Culture and society

### Literature and visual arts

#### Propaganda campaigns

   Dogelandia has had many state-run propaganda campaigns since its inception. Most of these were created to promote social welfare, while also sometimes involving foreign affairs. Propaganda in the Republic is spread by both government and media entities. Some rumors have continuously appeared that state propagandists may provide either factual or non-factual information to their audiences in order to shape widescale public opinion or influence behavioral changes.

The first large-scale use of propaganda by the RDL government came during the Dogetopian Cold War. The government enlisted the help of citizens to help promote consumer interaction to help stimulate the economy. The government produced posters that encouraged people to side with their land and keep their patriotism high. The public skepticism of the abandon of moral values during the war would lead the postwar government to temporarily slow the use of propaganda.
