The Lead Crystal Glassblowing of Wine Decanter is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sommelier with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.308 billion Wine Decanterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domaine Leroy Musigny. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Wine Decanterian economy, worth a remarkable 7,391 trillion Wine Grapes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 280,948 Wine Grapes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Wine Decanter's national animal is the Bacchanal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fermentation.

Wine Decanter is ranked 243,117^th in the world and 342^nd in NationStates for Nicest Citizens, with 1.69 average smiles per day.
