The Most Serene Republic of Whimelm is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 130 million Whimelmians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 36.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Whimelmian economy, worth 5.62 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,220 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whimelm's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Whimelm is ranked 218,861^st in the world and 3,859^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 26.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
