The West-Vloamse Bende of Wider is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ikke with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning monkey population. The quiet, industrious population of 23.353 billion Widers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toesens. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Widerian economy, worth 640 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,425 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Widerdom has been named as Wider's national religion, Ikke has just been declared ruler of Wider in an international press conference, rice shortages have risen after paddy fields were drained to combat malaria, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wider's national animal is the monkey and its national religion is Widerdom.

Wider is ranked 130,448^th in the world and 62^nd in belgium for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 807.8 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
