The Hegemony of Wellsia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Himilco with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 16.983 billion Well'sittu are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hadast. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Well'satu economy, worth a remarkable 4,520 trillion Shekels a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 266,195 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wellsia's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saculeum.

Wellsia is ranked 4,508^th in the world and 7^th in The Western Isles for Most Corrupt Governments, with 239.84 kickbacks per hour.
