The Carolling Colony of GoodKingWenceslas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nanook Nanook with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 13.283 billion Wenceslians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stephen. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse GoodKingWenceslasian economy, worth 777 trillion markkaa a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,559 markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nanook Nanook is generally seen as a know-it-all (GoodKingWenceslas has found 1 easter egg), the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a reindeer, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, and only the wealthy can afford monorail fares. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GoodKingWenceslas's national animal is the reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
GoodKingWenceslas is ranked 141,695th in the world and 52nd in Christmas for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.13 kickbacks per hour.
