The Republica of Wilfred Test is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Pk Atticus Test with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.421 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nymphadora City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Quirkes each year, and teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilfred Test's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is No Official Religion, and its currency is the Quirke.

Wilfred Test is ranked 2,483rd in 10000 Islands and 122,488th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 6 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
