The Democratic States of The Endless Woods is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Riley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.193 billion Endless Woodsians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camelot. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Endless Woodsian economy, worth 250 trillion gold pieces 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, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 78,337 gold pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, Riley spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Endless Woods's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Endless Woods is ranked 7,287^th in the world and 7^th in The Hole To Hide In for Safest, scoring 125.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
