The Recruiting Wolf of Wolf 1 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Hyperwolf with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 5.441 billion Wolfists 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolf City. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wolfist economy, worth 574 trillion WolfCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,531 WolfCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, no one gossips with Hyperwolf during diplomatic summits, and former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wolf 1's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wolf 1 is ranked 130,310^th in the world and 12^th in Sancturia for Largest Populations, with 5.44 billion capita.
