The Strays of Wolfs Rain is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.997 billion Wolfs Rainians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wolfs Rainian economy, worth 165 trillion Rains a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,282 Rains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wolfs Rain's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Wolfs Rain is ranked 60,923^rd in the world and 15^th in Stygian Abbey for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 46.76 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
