The Holy Empire of Wilkenthral is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Billarion Wilkenthral with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.298 billion Wilkenthralians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Billarion. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wilkenthralian economy, worth 169 trillion Wilcricks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,325 Wilcricks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, and centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilkenthral's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eternal Flame.

Wilkenthral is ranked 236,409^th in the world and 435^th in Starlight for Fattest Citizens, with 8.04 Obesity Rate.
