The Trade Congolomorate of Widgetalia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Machiavelli with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.547 billion Widgetalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Widgetalia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Widgetalian economy, worth an astonishing 16,455 trillion Sawbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 644,109 Sawbucks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,436,276 per year while the poor average 63,449, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.
The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, those awarding peace prizes to Widgetalians find themselves in pieces, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Widgetalia's national animal is the Jungle Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hierarchigal Capitalisim.
Widgetalia is ranked 1,426th in the world and 80th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 55.46 Obesity Rate.
