The Galloping of Whorse is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Mare with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.234 billion Whorses love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stallion. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Whorse economy, worth 390 trillion hays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 62,618 hays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, hospitals have poor data security but send lots of bodies to be encrypted, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whorse's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Equestrianism.

Whorse is ranked 16,600^th in the world and 900^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 24.29 average smiles per day.
