The Republica of Worlend is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Rustam Netaliev with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.819 billion Worlendians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruselinsk. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Worlendian economy, worth 102 trillion Franks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,460 Franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A Lazarus Tourist Association survey has rated Worlend #1 for number twos, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worlend's national animal is the Albino panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Worlend is ranked 113,905^th in the world and 4,481^st in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 20.58 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
