The Republic of Wilkshire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Paul Williams with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 46.76 billion Wilkshireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vasbury. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wilkshirean economy, worth an astonishing 15,255 trillion wilkoes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 326,247 wilkoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, replacement organs are grown in vats, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilkshire's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilkshire is ranked 2,243rd in the world and 82nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 326,247.75 Standard Monetary Units.
