The Empire of WemmbuMC is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 493 million WemmbuMCians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The strong WemmbuMCian economy, worth 37.6 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,323 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. WemmbuMC's national animal is the wemmbu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

WemmbuMC is ranked 97,684^th in the world and 782^nd in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 62 on the Human Development Index.
