The Republic of Whoknew is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.977 billion Whoknewians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The thriving Whoknewian economy, worth 387 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 64,855 rubledollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,504 per year while the poor average 13,874, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Whoknew's national animal is the hawk.

Whoknew is ranked 195,658^th in the world and 2,045^th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 686.57 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
