The Commonwealth of Whipjangle is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 20.536 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, the nation refuses to provide international aid, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whipjangle's national animal is the rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the jangle.

Whipjangle is ranked 17th in libertarian and 111,741st in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 5 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
