“My Child. Surely You Know That being Loved Is An Honour”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Matriarchy of The Woragopiria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Honourable Mother Ella with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.057 billion Woragopirians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Ida's town. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Woragopirian economy, worth 534 trillion Flowers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,302 Flowers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, a lack of funding for new shows has turned television into 24/7 re-runs, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and The Honourable Mother Ella can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Woragopiria's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Happiness.

The Woragopiria is ranked 5,106^th in the world and 145^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 130.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
