The Eternal Republic of Whionsia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Travisius Concord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.753 billion Whionsians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternitus. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Whionsian economy, worth 749 trillion Solaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 157,623 Solaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and legend has it President Travisius Concord's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whionsia's national animal is the White dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eternity.

Whionsia is ranked 302,971^st in the world and 4,535^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 3.93 Obesity Rate.
