The Academic Dominion of Woollevia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by His Royal Swellness with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 25.391 billion Woollevians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woolham. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Woollevian economy, worth an astonishing 15,412 trillion lugnuts a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 607,008 lugnuts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,316,093 per year while the poor average 110,060, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

His Royal Swellness often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, the government seizes all major gold finds, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Woollevia's national animal is the kraken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Our Lady of the Red Ball.

Woollevia is ranked 50,991^st in the world and 2,292^nd in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 59.56 on the Rand Index.
