The Constitutional Republic of Wersh is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Hallon with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.803 billion Wershians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corlabelm. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wershian economy, worth a remarkable 1,772 trillion Houers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,825 Houers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, Wershians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wersh's national animal is the Sun Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wersh is ranked 31,340th in the world and 687th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
