The Order of Strandwolf is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Knight Commander with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.551 billion Strandwolves 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of River's End. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Strandwolfian economy, worth 679 trillion Waters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 191,419 Waters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, Strandwolfian military drills look more like joint-Warzone Sandbox exercises than anything else, being Knight Commander has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Strandwolf's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strandwolf is ranked 102,381st in the world and 5th in Warzone Sandbox for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,580.53 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
