The State of Weld is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 31.594 billion Weldians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Weldian economy, worth 791 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,039 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, deers are considered a delicacy, Weld has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Weld in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weld's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Weld is ranked 110,039^th in the world and 145^th in State for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 757.63 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
