The Republic of The Wedding is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.175 billion Weddingians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The thriving Weddingian economy, worth 467 trillion rtgrtgrtgs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,953 rtgrtgrtgs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Economists claim no news is good news, Weddingian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. The Wedding's national animal is the rtgrtgrtg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Wedding is ranked 140,141^st in the world and 43^rd in 555 for Safest, scoring 63.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
