The Fuzzy and the Furious of Werewolf Barmaid is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Wolf Instincts with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 1.414 billion Werewolf Barmaids are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dusty Keg in the Cellar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.5%.

The powerhouse Werewolf Barmaid economy, worth 133 trillion BARMAID coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,200 BARMAID coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Werewolf Barmaid's national animal is the Squeaky Chew Toy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Temple of Howling at the Moon.

Werewolf Barmaid is ranked 92,439th in the world and 30th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,153.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
