The Grand Democracy of Washingtonian Order is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.466 billion Washorderians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Seavernon. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Washingtonian Orderian economy, worth 738 trillion Verners a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,281 Verners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and the children of Washingtonian Order are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Washingtonian Order's national animal is the Goldfishen, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Washingtonian Order is ranked 305,801^st in the world and 10,099^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.35 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
