The WolfAndRavenConsesus of Defileul Lapusului is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by WolfAndRavenImperium with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.683 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ShadowWolfNightRaven. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", and children spout "Intelligence, cunning, bravery and nobility!" involuntarily throughout the day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defileul Lapusului's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Servants of Valaar, and its currency is the Raven.

Defileul Lapusului is ranked 1,673rd in 10000 Islands and 73,472nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 13 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
