The Republic of Wsb- is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.047 billion Wsb-ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The very strong Wsb-ian economy, worth 120 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 58,689 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,334 per year while the poor average 14,307, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wsb-'s national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Wsb- is ranked 193,142^nd in the world and 4^th in Regions for Largest Governments, scoring 10 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
