The Emirate of Whintar is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 24.354 billion Whintarians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Administration aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 10.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Whintarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 trillion Reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,718 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Whintar's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Whintar is ranked 203,614^th in the world and 28^th in The Genesis Corporation for Highest Food Quality, scoring 11.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
