The Woodhouse Sanctum of Duende is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.128 billion Duendeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Duendean economy, worth 146 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,341 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duende's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Duende is ranked 52,109^th in the world and 1^st in Phu Quoc for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,556 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
