The Kingdom of Weener is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 602 million Weenermens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Weenermen economy, worth 43.8 trillion Weener Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 72,755 Weener Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weener's national animal is the The black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Weener is ranked 260,280th in the world and 1,268th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
