The Republic of Wold is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.504 billion Woldians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong Woldian economy, worth 306 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 55,629 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 288,495 per year while the poor average 5,811, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Wold's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Wold is ranked 98,944^th in the world and 3,248^th in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 13.35 kickbacks per hour.
