The Protectorate of Wultic is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.084 billion Wulticians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wultician economy, worth 733 trillion units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 179,515 units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wultic's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wultic is ranked 17,373rd in the world and 3rd in Gardenia Botanicum for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,123.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
