The Sergeant's Black Den of Wulfenite is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by White Fang with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.729 billion Wulfeniteans 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."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bad Bleiberg. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wulfenitean economy, worth a remarkable 5,337 trillion Dens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,833 Dens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wulfenite's national animal is the Ghost, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Howlishism.

Wulfenite is ranked 16,448th in the world and 2nd in War Weary for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
