The Republic of Wentworthville is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Donald Aves Mallard with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate population of 5.994 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mallardville. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, voting is compulsory, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Wentworthville's border. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wentworthville's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Quack.

Wentworthville is ranked 4,772nd in The East Pacific and 124,290th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -31 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
