The Sylvan Kingdom of Willow Gate is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.688 billion Gateholders 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King's Eye. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Willow Gatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion lycans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,113 lycans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Willow Gate's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Willow Gate is ranked 1,296th in the world and 7th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 77,184 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
