Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Academic Dominion of Woollevia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by His Royal Swellness with an iron fist, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.746 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woolham. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, the government has the power to seize property at will, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Woollevia's national animal is the kraken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Our Lady of the Red Ball, and its currency is the lugnut.

Woollevia is ranked 8th in The North Pacific and 332nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 62 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
