The Trade Congolomorate of Widgetalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Machiavelli with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.695 billion Widgetalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Widgetalia City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Widgetalian economy, worth an astonishing 17,045 trillion Sawbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 574,013 Sawbucks, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Several inches are being added to first class seating, golden statues of Jungle Ferrets line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Widgetalia's national animal is the Jungle Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hierarchigal Capitalisim.

Widgetalia is ranked 332,514^th in the world and 17,756^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.06 average smiles per day.
