The Most Serene Republic of Whimelm is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Whimelmians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.7%.

The strong Whimelmian economy, worth 1.93 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,134 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whimelm's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Whimelm is ranked 64,084^th in the world and 1,166^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,425.97 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
