The Puddle Jumping Wads of Wrapper is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Wad Sam Attah with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.665 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 morass — prioritizes Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, 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 5,281 trillion chewing gums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 205,782 chewing gums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and rumor has it that President Wad Sam Attah has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 1,201st in the world and 1st in Stargate for Most Cultured, scoring 335 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
