The Federal Republic of Whionsia is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Travisius Concord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 958 million Whionsians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternitus. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Whionsian economy, worth 103 trillion Solaris a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 107,828 Solaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whionsia's national animal is the White dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Whionsia is ranked 51,485^th in the world and 1,274^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 107,828.02 Standard Monetary Units.
