The Republic of William I is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.736 billion William Iians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The thriving William Iian economy, worth 695 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,647 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,433 per year while the poor average 11,146, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. William I's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

William I is ranked 258,612^th in the world and 30^th in Xedas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
