The Big Bull of Woonsocket is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bull Schmidt with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 43.582 billion Woonsocketeers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wooncow City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Woonsocketian economy, worth an astonishing 19,705 trillion Moolahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 452,147 Moolahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, Bull Schmidt's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, the logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster Woonsocket with trees, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is totally unknown. Woonsocket's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bovinity.

Woonsocket is ranked 13,163rd in the world and 209th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 117.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
