The Company of Fangshade is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Varyk Nightfang with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.405 billion Wolves are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ironhowl. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.4%.

The strong Wolf economy, worth 161 trillion Lunas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,276 Lunas, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Wolf satellites can detect it, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fangshade's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Frostmoon.

Fangshade is ranked 294,607^th in the world and 138^th in United Democratic Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.21 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
