The Epic collecting nation of Wopruthien is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Billy Talent with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.756 billion Wopiens 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, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underground Play Toy. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wopruthienian economy, worth a remarkable 6,939 trillion irishes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 194,067 irishes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the Wopruthienian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wopruthien's national animal is the monster guinea pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the heady heights of Tran-duc.

Wopruthien is ranked 1,207^th in the world and 2^nd in The Kodiak Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 163.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
