Wood-13

The Watchfires of Wood-13 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, enforced nudity, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 20.627 billion Wood-13ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Wood-13ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,671 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,024 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residential tower blocks are surrounded by warrens of concrete tunnels, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wood-13's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wood-13 is ranked 4,245th in the world and 1st in Frankfurt am Main for Most Stationary, with 3,462.7061172 days.
