The Republic of Wilberta is a small, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 20 million Wilbertans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Wilbertan economy, worth 145 billion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 7,283 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilberta's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilberta is ranked 330,018^th in the world and 2,400^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
