The Holy Knights of Wolman is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Charlotta with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.343 billion Wolmanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belial. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Wolmanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,296 trillion Sandalphones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 172,082 Sandalphones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rare steaks seem even bluer now, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Charlotta, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wolman's national animal is the Diamond Backed Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eal.

Wolman is ranked 10,824th in the world and 118th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,241.90952351032 days.
