The Sylvan Kingdom of Willow Gate is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.628 billion Gateholders 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King's Eye. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Willow Gatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,082 trillion lycans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an impressive 125,419 lycans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, women give birth underneath so many blankets that the doctor can't feel the bump, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Willow Gate's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Willow Gate is ranked 2,357^th in the world and 44^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 144.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
