The Principality of EVIL Welves is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 32 million EVIL Welvesians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong EVIL Welvesian economy, worth 1.65 trillion School Cashes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,687 School Cashes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,691 per year while the poor average 14,143, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. EVIL Welves's national animal is the Black Sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

EVIL Welves is ranked 247,528^th in the world and 7^th in EVIL Timoria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
