The Kingdom of Wombelland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Robert Siebel with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.329 billion Wombelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wombeldon. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wombelian economy, worth a remarkable 3,569 trillion Wombel Talers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,606 Wombel Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, lending money has become a major liability, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wombelland's national animal is the Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is religious liberty.

Wombelland is ranked 15,470^th in the world and 242^nd in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,108.39 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
