The United States of Weitzel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Der Kommissar with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 45.911 billion Weitzelese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smallville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Weitzelian economy, worth a remarkable 9,777 trillion Smelly Farts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 212,976 Smelly Farts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,587 per year while the poor average 43,913, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.
Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Weitzel's national animal is the duckbilled platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Weitzel is ranked 142nd in the world and 1st in EWU for Most Stationary, with 6,943.66222272 days.
