The Colony of Weatherly is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.478 billion Weatherlyians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Weatherlyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,453 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,612 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weatherly's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Weatherly is ranked 13,583^rd in the world and 295^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
