The Royal Blue Dolphin Sect of Wentland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Aethelwold the Second with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful population of 45.5 billion Wents are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wettelham. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wentlandian economy, worth a remarkable 8,044 trillion guineas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,809 guineas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murder comes with a cash prize if the victim was previously incarcerated, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wentland's national animal is the swift, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wentland is ranked 5,665th in the world and 1st in Akbaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
