The Allied Tribes of The Garou-Nation is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.016 billion Garou are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamaravil. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Garou economy, worth 275 trillion talens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,240 talens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", panicking criminals no longer flush contraband down the toilet, voodoo economists believe that feeding criminals to volcanoes will bring untold riches to The Garou-Nation, and the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Garou-Nation's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Triatism.

The Garou-Nation is ranked 147,701st in the world and 52nd in Sparkalia for Largest Populations, with 3.02 billion capita.
