The Fourth Incarnation of Wintermoot IV is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.896 billion Wintermoot IVians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Wintermoot IVian economy, worth 715 trillion Golds 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip 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 37,856 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, the government is reining in public spending, books are often used as kindling, and the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wintermoot IV's national animal is the Black Bear.
Wintermoot IV is ranked 235,534th in the world and 26th in Valaryia for Safest, scoring 17.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
