The Southeast Texan Republic of United States of Woodward is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Big W with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.359 billion Woodwardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Houston. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Woodwardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,469 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 184,854 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United States of Woodward's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

United States of Woodward is ranked 1,179^th in the world and 4^th in Texas for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 24,728.58 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
