The Grand Duchy of Enwik is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 32.854 billion Enwikians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The strong Enwikian economy, worth a remarkable 1,903 trillion Stones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 57,951 Stones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,361 per year while the poor average 4,901, a ratio of 67.6 to 1.

A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enwik's national animal is the Roaring Mouse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Enwik is ranked 9,790^th in the world and 346^th in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 17.83 Obesity Rate.
