The Woodhouse Sanctum of God of Love is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 24.923 billion God of Loveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong God of Lovean economy, worth a remarkable 1,382 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 55,458 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military has declared war on all religious influence, parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. God of Love's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

God of Love is ranked 87,777th in the world and 1st in The Soviet Union Of Russia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 92.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
