The Free Land of Woreate is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.435 billion Woreateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Woreatean economy, worth 219 trillion Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 152,876 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, school history books often refer to Leader as "that imperialist pig dog", and gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Woreate's national animal is the Spark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Woreate is ranked 62,931st in the world and 349th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,903.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
