The People's Republic of Of Whimsy is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 10 million Whimsyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The Whimsyian economy, worth 508 billion Barter Systems a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,897 Barter Systems, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Of Whimsy's national animal is the Raccoon, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Of Whimsy is ranked 225,799^th in the world and 847^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
