The Democratic Republic of Weric is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 36 million Wericans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The strong Werician economy, worth 2.74 trillion Werics a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 76,125 Werics, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and a government program is underway to revitalize Weric's beaches. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Weric's national animal is the Werica Wolverine, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Weric is ranked 237,208^th in the world and 379^th in Pacifism for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 225.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
