The Queen's State of Webster is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.049 billion Websterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Websterian economy, worth 974 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,402 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,293 per year while the poor average 2,009, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Webster's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Webster is ranked 13,784th in the world and 3rd in Damascus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,681.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
