The Wolfist Junta of Hyperwolf is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Hyperwolf with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.324 billion Hyperwolfians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolf City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hyperwolfist economy, worth a remarkable 3,298 trillion WolfCoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 267,628 WolfCoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,034,581 per year while the poor average 9,764, a ratio of 208 to 1.

A violent scene on television results in mass mobilization of the National Guard, the next election is postponed until further notice, ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, and personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hyperwolf's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Wolfism.

Hyperwolf is ranked 1,145th in the world and 31st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9,754.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
