The Welcoming Wanderers of Wordasfolk is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rosa Bauer with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.167 billion Wordasfolk 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sasellavastu. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Wordasfolken economy, worth 146 trillion pennings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,701 pennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wordasfolk's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Krettha Tutas.

Wordasfolk is ranked 89,442nd in the world and 4th in Solstice for Most Developed, scoring 64.24 on the Human Development Index.
