The State of Wilbur is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.266 billion Wilburians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Wilburian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,309 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,465 per year while the poor average 1,789, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Wilbur has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wilbur's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilbur is ranked 307,714^th in the world and 531^st in State for Safest, scoring 12.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
