The Republic of WanHoo is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.073 billion WanHooans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving WanHooan economy, worth 458 trillion Bolts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,455 Bolts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

WanHooan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, little children cry as their rainbow drawings are seized by the Straight-Thought Police, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WanHoo's national animal is the Robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

WanHoo is ranked 133,651st in the world and 214th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Stationary, with 239.95468670668 days.
