Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Commonwealth of Allwarts is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Warton with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.858 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wartovia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology industries.

Mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime is crippling. Allwarts's national animal is the Warthog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Church of the All Seeing , and its currency is the Wart.

Allwarts is ranked 3,203rd in the West Pacific and 71,976th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
