The State of Wormwood One is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.334 billion Wormwood Oneans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The powerhouse Wormwood Onean economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,456 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,039 per year while the poor average 2,711, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Wormwood One has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wormwood One's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Wormwood One is ranked 190,517^th in the world and 9^th in Wales for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
