The Republic of Wuun is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Captain Fernandez with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.262 billion Wuuns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strumbuo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The strong Wuunian economy, worth 373 trillion doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,034 doubloons, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Wuunian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Wuun's national animal is the Giant Squid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Piracy.

Wuun is ranked 20,201st in the world and 1st in Blackstar for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,019.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
