The Big Bull of Woonsocket is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bull Schmidt with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 48.625 billion Woonsocketeers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wooncow City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Woonsocketian economy, worth an astonishing 22,646 trillion Moolahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 465,742 Moolahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, and the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO. Crime is totally unknown. Woonsocket's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bovinity.

Woonsocket is ranked 646^th in the world and 2^nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 18,192.18 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
