The People's Republic of Wuureath is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 22.781 billion Wuureathians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Wuureathian economy, worth 570 trillion Kleets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 25,026 Kleets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wuureath's national animal is the Ice Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Wuureath is ranked 243,346th in the world and 288th in Wintreath for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
