The Kingdom of WillGrahamsMindPalace is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million WillGrahamsMindPalaceans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile WillGrahamsMindPalacean economy, worth 720 billion Mystery Meats a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,503 Mystery Meats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for WillGrahamsMindPalacean citizenship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WillGrahamsMindPalace's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

WillGrahamsMindPalace is ranked 224,164th in the world and 198th in Wintreath for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,158.6 Standard Monetary Units.
