The Duff Drinkers of Woohooland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Lionel Hutz with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 40.956 billion Woohoolanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Industry, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. The average income tax rate is 4.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Woohoolandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,993 trillion duffs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,508 duffs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan, the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports, and soldiers are now trained how to make sandwiches properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Woohooland's national animal is the donut, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Jebus.

Woohooland is ranked 288,298th in the world and 25th in The Scandalian Alliance for Most Conservative, scoring 25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
