The Mimsy Borogoves of Wabberjocky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 12.082 billion Wabberjockyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carrollia. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wabberjockyian economy, worth 958 trillion Pebbles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,338 Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wabberjocky's national animal is the Gryphon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Solipsism.

Wabberjocky is ranked 275,078th in the world and 150th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.21 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
