The Free Land of Woofers is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nyu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, ritual sacrifices, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.104 billion Woofers 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Woofersian economy, worth 74.0 trillion solids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,034 solids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Woofers's national animal is the lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Woofers is ranked 141,256^th in the world and 1,906^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 56.31 on the Human Development Index.
