The Weird Place of Werfond is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Liu with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.531 billion Werfondians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redwood Nyre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Werfondian economy, worth a remarkable 1,651 trillion Leaves a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 193,548 Leaves, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Werfondians make research institutes rich, certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', and powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Werfond's national animal is the Eastern Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tree worshipping.

Werfond is ranked 27,343rd in the world and 34th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
