The Crazy Blood Lusters of Running Wolf is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 42.271 billion Running Wolfians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Running Wolfian economy, worth 974 trillion Paw-Maws a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 23,044 Paw-Maws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Running Wolf's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Running Wolf is ranked 22,965^th in the world and 1^st in The Ocean of Purity for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.1 Effective Tax Rate.
