The United Socialist States of Wemble is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.093 billion Wembleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leadertown. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Wemblean economy, worth 265 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,926 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and being dead no longer has any benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wemble's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wemble is ranked 28,596th in the world and 651st in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 76,759.48 Standard Monetary Units.
