The United States of Wellington-KS- is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.701 billion Wellington-KS-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wellington-KS-ian economy, worth 495 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 133,786 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wellington-KS-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Wellington-KS- is ranked 27,484^th in the world and 359^th in Aerospace for Most Corrupt Governments, with 78.19 kickbacks per hour.
