The Order of Strandwolf is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Knight Commander with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.382 billion Strandwolves are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of River's End. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Strandwolfian economy, worth 636 trillion Waters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 188,224 Waters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Strandwolf's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strandwolf is ranked 5,641st in the world and 1st in Warzone Sandbox for Highest Poor Incomes, with 157,321.59 Standard Monetary Units.
