The Southeast Texan Republic of United States of Woodward is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Big W with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.015 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. 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 2,404 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 184,769 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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.
