The People's Republic of Wolfsmarken is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Premier with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 2.263 billion Wolfsmarken are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haupstadt. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Wolfsmarken economy, worth 420 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 185,884 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", Goose is one of the most popular forenames in Wolfsmarken, and nothing gets the party jumping like Premier specifying how high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wolfsmarken's national animal is the goose, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christian Socialism.

Wolfsmarken is ranked 6,199^th in the world and 8^th in The Empire of Walbard for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
