The Protectorate of Wroeland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.718 billion Wroelandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hillegomba. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Wroelandian economy, worth 428 trillion Hille-Goms a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 63,751 Hille-Goms, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,685 per year while the poor average 16,302, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Cars are banned, Leader has just been declared ruler of Wroeland in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Wroeland's national religion, and 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wroeland's national animal is the dire wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wroeland is ranked 213,248^th in the world and 115^th in New Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 31.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
