The Big Bull of Woonsocket is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bull Schmidt with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 39.269 billion Woonsocketeers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wooncow City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Woonsocketian economy, worth an astonishing 17,718 trillion Moolahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 451,195 Moolahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Bull Schmidt is a silly poophead, the digital money revolution has cashed out, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime is totally unknown. Woonsocket's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bovinity.

Woonsocket is ranked 506^th in the world and 10^th in 10000 Islands for Smartest Citizens, with 286.8 quips per hour.
