The Commonwealth of Wegcetera is a huge, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 278 million Wegceterans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Wegceteran economy, worth 5.09 trillion Banans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 18,293 Banans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and Wegcetera has designated Wegcetera City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wegcetera's national animal is the Abyss Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wegcetera is ranked 47,221^st in the world and 43^rd in Sophia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 701.12 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
