The Company of Fangshade is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Varyk Nightfang with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.358 billion Wolves are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ironhowl. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.9%.

The Wolf economy, worth 151 trillion Lunas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,349 Lunas, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, self-help books on beating the false religion out of slaves top the charts, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fangshade's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Frostmoon.

Fangshade is ranked 9,895^th in the world and 206^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 5,950.98 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
