The Nomadic Peoples of The Wursthaus is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.971 billion Wursthausians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambridge. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Wursthausian economy, worth a remarkable 1,886 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,588 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visitors often wonder about the new red dartboard in Leader's office, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and every day is laundry day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wursthaus's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Wursthaus is ranked 5,212th in the world and 4th in Ghosts of Harvard Square for Most Cultured, scoring 155 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
