The Federal Republic of Wevel is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 219 million Weveli 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Weveli economy, worth 5.83 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,604 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and sweet-toothed Weveli have been left penniless by the VAT on candy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wevel's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wevel is ranked 179,855^th in the world and 740^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 345.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
