The Commonwealth of Ulfrik is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Wolfgang Howler with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.071 billion Ulfrikians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfhaven. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulfrikian economy, worth 489 trillion wolf-fangs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 120,233 wolf-fangs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, endangered species face obesity instead of extinction, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime is totally unknown. Ulfrik's national animal is the black wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wolferism.

Ulfrik is ranked 256,686^th in the world and 3,379^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -175.28 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
