The Commonwealth of Wegcetera is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 333 million Wegceterans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Wegceteran economy, worth 8.29 trillion Banans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 24,885 Banans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Wegceteran weed picker are way up, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wegcetera's national animal is the Abyss Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wegcetera is ranked 139,614^th in the world and 281^st in Sophia for Most Patriotic, with 10.77 flags saluted per person per day.
