The Dictatorship of Weltrathia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Weltrath with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.598 billion Weltrathians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waterdeep. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weltrathian economy, worth a remarkable 3,401 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,300 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Weltrath's throne, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Weltrathia's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Weltrathian.

Weltrathia is ranked 281,531st in the world and 126th in Equestria for Safest, scoring 5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
