The State of Gwenhwyfaren is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.016 billion Gwenhwyfarenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Income tax is unheard of.

The strong Gwenhwyfarenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 33,588 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,357 per year while the poor average 1,804, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Gwenhwyfaren has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gwenhwyfaren's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gwenhwyfaren is ranked 309,284^th in the world and 1^st in Commonwealth Union for Highest Poor Incomes, with 1,804.73 Standard Monetary Units.
