The State of Willowbrook is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.047 billion Willowbrookians, 3.853 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong Willowbrookian economy, worth 926 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 33,479 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the government is avowedly atheist, and voting is voluntary. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Willowbrook's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Willowbrook is ranked 224,196^th in the world and 1^st in Willowbrook for Nudest, with 94.5 cheeks per square mile.
