The Nantucket Nectar of Grace Wellesley Thayer is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Welly Thayer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 7.119 billion Thayerians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Thayerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,097 trillion wellies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 154,108 wellies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 599,412 per year while the poor average 27,090, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.

Citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the government is said to have a martyrdom complex. Crime is totally unknown. Grace Wellesley Thayer's national animal is the elk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Thayerian deference.

Grace Wellesley Thayer is ranked 259,470^th in the world and 3,167^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
