The Holy Empire of Wesmotibur is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 177 million Wesmotiburians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wesmotiburian economy, worth 8.69 trillion WMDS a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,078 WMDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, most citizens in Wesmotibur are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wesmotibur's national animal is the Mahoraga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wesmotibur is ranked 64,193^rd in the world and 236^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 97.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
