The Constitutional Monarchy of Wodelle- is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.88 billion Wodelle-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Wodelle-ian economy, worth 591 trillion yen a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,981 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,977 per year while the poor average 18,489, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

Diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", drunk drivers are sentenced to death, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wodelle-'s national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Wodelle- is ranked 237,291^st in the world and 1,489^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
