The Kingdom of Woodsmere is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 257 million Meares are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodsmere. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The powerhouse Woodsmerean economy, worth 26.5 trillion metrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 103,255 metrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,460 per year while the poor average 14,726, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Excessive gerrymandering has earned Woodsmere the nickname 'The Democratic Dictatorship', the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and Woodsmere has designated Woodsmere as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Woodsmere's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Woodsmere is ranked 66,876^th in the world and 2^nd in Metropolitan Union for Most Beautiful Environments, with 622.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
