The Republic of Direwolf1 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.403 billion Direwolf1ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Direwolf1ian economy, worth 552 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,222 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Direwolf1's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Direwolf1 is ranked 207,130^th in the world and 6,992^nd in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -199.77 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
