The Kingdom of Canis lupus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alpha with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 26.625 billion wolves are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfburg. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong wolf economy, worth a remarkable 2,497 trillion rocks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,814 rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, complaining about Christmas music in October is a ho-ho-horrendous crime, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canis lupus's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Canis lupus is ranked 6,010^th in the world and 1^st in The Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
