The Wulfe-Warriors of Austington is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Great Wolf Fisk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.838 billion Wulfes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frostheim. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Wulven economy, worth an astonishing 11,491 trillion Bløds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 360,922 Bløds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

A rusted hulk in Frostheim harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Lazarus, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, military spending recently hit a new high, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austington's national animal is the Palðer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Holy Imperium.

Austington is ranked 320,362nd in the world and 17,399th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 6.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
