The Republic of Whetosonghnee is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-working, democratic population of 976 million Whetosonghneeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The strong Whetosonghneean economy, worth 57.7 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,151 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, home renovation projects take decades to complete, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is almost non-existent. Whetosonghnee's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Whetosonghnee is ranked 126,015^th in the world and 6,359^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,530.08 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
