The Democratic Dictatorship of WeirdVille is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.58 billion WeirdVilleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a van. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant WeirdVillean economy, worth 298 trillion Madtom balls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 6,412 Madtom balls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best WeirdVillean restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WeirdVille's national animal is the Big Goddamned Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is chaos reigns.

WeirdVille is ranked 141,643^rd in the world and 1^st in Allied Forces of ASCII for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,332.83 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
