The Republic of Wubear is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 426 million Wu'Bs 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 Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haru. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wubearian economy, worth 32.1 trillion Schmeckleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,447 Schmeckleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Straitjackets are a common religious garb, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Haru Times is sold out, homophobia is off the menu, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wubear's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wubear is ranked 61,410^th in the world and 407^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
