The Nonstop Whining of Whymi is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Lady Karen McSuffers with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 8.27 billion Whymians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victimstein. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Whymian economy, worth 257 trillion whines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,177 whines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is reining in public spending, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, and the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whymi's national animal is the cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Imaginary Persecution.

Whymi is ranked 226,435^th in the world and 11^th in T2R for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
