The Grinches Who Stole Christmas of Occupied Whoville is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 17.682 billion Occupied Whovilleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.1%.

The all-consuming Occupied Whovillean economy, worth 969 trillion seusses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,823 seusses, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Occupied Whoville's national animal is the lorax, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Occupied Whoville is ranked 126,373^rd in the world and 36^th in Christmas for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
