The Extremely Feminine Nation of Wollybutt is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 44.036 billion Wollybuttians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wollybuttian economy, worth a remarkable 4,707 trillion lilly pillies a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,908 lilly pillies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Main battle tanks stalk the woods of Wollybutt in search of thylacines, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wollybutt's national animal is the thylacine, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wollybutt is ranked 11,473rd in the world and 1st in Ztorque for Highest Food Quality, scoring 151.95 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
