The Bloated Corpse of Dead Whale is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 41.333 billion Dead Whaleans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The large, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The strong Dead Whalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,730 trillion harpoons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,861 harpoons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,606 per year while the poor average 2,249, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a serious problem. Dead Whale's national animal is the decomposing herring.

Dead Whale is ranked 82,019^th in the world and 2^nd in Iceland for Smartest Citizens, with 36.02 quips per hour.
