The Republic of Wilkshire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Paul Williams with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.448 billion Wilkshireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vasbury. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wilkshirean economy, worth an astonishing 14,474 trillion wilkoes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 318,495 wilkoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilkshire's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilkshire is ranked 995th in the world and 39th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 278,001.62 Standard Monetary Units.
