The State of Father William is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 26.449 billion Father Williamians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Spirituality, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Father Williamian economy, worth 903 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,148 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", protests are legal but strictly supervised, and Father William has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Father William's national animal is the deer.

Father William is ranked 115,145^th in the world and 1^st in Taipei for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.7 kickbacks per hour.
