The Republic of Whobst is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-working population of 7.052 billion Whobstians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.6%.

The strong Whobstian economy, worth 326 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 46,295 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whobst's national animal is the sheep.

Whobst is ranked 153,984^th in the world and 1^st in Eurocore for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,684.77 Standard Monetary Units.
