The United Kingdom of Wirola is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 980 million Wirolans 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 tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The thriving Wirolan economy, worth 72.4 trillion oranges a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 73,916 oranges, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 344,840 per year while the poor average 9,487, a ratio of 36.3 to 1.

Graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, security reviews double as corporate marketing, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and solar death ray construction will commence as soon as it rains oranges. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wirola's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wirola is ranked 286,668th in the world and 28th in The Wave Experience for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
