The Second United Tribes of Woligon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sigurd Hij Popli with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.742 billion Wolis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suletzkeve. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Woligonian economy, worth 247 trillion Yits a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,059 Yits, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Woligon's national animal is the Phoenix Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Woligon is ranked 238,199th in the world and 1,110th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
