The Kingdom of Woreyland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Annie Green with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.568 billion Woreylandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zunego City. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Woreylandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,110 trillion Woreys 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 an impressive 169,005 Woreys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Woreyland's national animal is the Woreylandian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Woreyland is ranked 181,897th in the world and 928th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
