The Estate of Woodlea Grove is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Errion Franklin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.596 billion Woodlea Groveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Grove. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Woodlea Grovean economy, worth 760 trillion wovens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 45,837 wovens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Woodlea Grove's national animal is the goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Woodlea Grove is ranked 45,356th in the world and 507th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 967.73505426028 days.
