The Paramilitary Republic of Wobbegong is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Akeldama Kremvh Rothsgori with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 19.833 billion Wobbegongians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Shark City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wobbegongian economy, worth a remarkable 7,181 trillion Cey Cards a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 362,078 Cey Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wobbegong's national animal is the Wobbegong Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Wobbegong is ranked 294^th in the world and 1^st in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 224.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
