The Woodhouse Sanctum of Commodore Decatur is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stephen Decatur with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The cynical, devout population of 23.637 billion Commodore Decaturians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, 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 Philadelphia. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Commodore Decaturian economy, worth a remarkable 1,891 trillion USDS 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 80,038 USDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commodore Decatur's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Commodore Decatur is ranked 57,023rd in the world and 1st in La Bastille for Safest, scoring 100.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
