The Puddle Jumping Wads of Wrapper is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Wad Sam Attah with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.335 billion Wads 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 — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wormhole City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wrapperian economy, worth a remarkable 2,440 trillion chewing gums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 197,864 chewing gums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize Wrapper's beaches, every workday begins with group therapy, autocrats are persona non grata, and exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wrapper's national animal is the slack-jawed jumping bean, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wrapper is ranked 6,218^th in the world and 6^th in Stargate for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,806.43 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
