The Dusty Archive of Welfinland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles Lancaster with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 22.455 billion Welfinlanders 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 Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardiff. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Welfinlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,958 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Education and welfare spending are on the rise, neighboring nations are tired of Welfinland's big fish stories, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Welfinland's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anglicanism.
Welfinland is ranked 239,063rd in the world and 94th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,276.46 Standard Monetary Units.
