The Union of Egoists of Little Woodhouse is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.938 billion Little Woodhouseans 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. The income tax rate is 100%.
The enormous but sluggish Little Woodhousean economy, worth a remarkable 6,499 trillion Proletarian Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 147,931 Proletarian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, every week is blindness awareness week, Little Woodhousean tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Woodhouse's national animal is the running dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Little Woodhouse is ranked 268th in the world and 2nd in The Internationale for Lowest Crime Rates, with 229.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
