The Republic of Cwh617 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.834 billion Cwh617ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cwh617ian economy, worth 795 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,494 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Cwh617ian democracy, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Cwh617 City" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh617's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cwh617 is ranked 290,510^th in the world and 668^th in Crestwood Heights for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 33.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
