The Unified State of Wessols is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Supreme Wessolian with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.723 billion Wessolsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wessolopolis. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wessolsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,457 trillion denariis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,068 denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wessols's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Wessols is ranked 8,141^st in the world and 3^rd in Sophia for Most Patriotic, with 68.34 flags saluted per person per day.
