The Sylvan Kingdom of Willow Gate is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.38 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King's Eye. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Willow Gatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 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 123,829 lycans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, Willow Gatean royals love to remind their siblings who was adopted first, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. 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 10,561st in the world and 166th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 116 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
