The Mimsy Borogoves of Wabberjocky is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 11.935 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it 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 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wabberjockyian economy, worth 946 trillion Pebbles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is 79,345 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 11,785th in the world and 3rd in Pogang for Nicest Citizens, with 30.18 average smiles per day.
