The Sergeant's Black Den of Wulfenite is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by White Fang with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.759 billion Wulfeniteans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bad Bleiberg. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wulfenitean economy, worth a remarkable 5,341 trillion Dens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,691 Dens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, warning signs caution Wulfeniteans where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wulfenite's national animal is the Ghost, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Howlishism.

Wulfenite is ranked 93,148th in the world and 1st in War Weary for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,119.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
