The Esperantist Federation of Ouidland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Torleif Volu with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 5.586 billion Ouidfolk are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Freyr's. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ouidish economy, worth 575 trillion Nikeloes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,057 Nikeloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Train stations can be 'armful places, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ouidland's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vedic Islam.

Ouidland is ranked 49,220^th in the world and 283^rd in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,143.02 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
