The Free Land of Wedich is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 1.024 billion Wedichians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Wedichian economy, worth 40.4 trillion Dekers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,442 Dekers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wedich's national animal is the Falcon of Truth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Wedich is ranked 162,137th in the world and 7,293rd in Osiris for Most Average, scoring 36.2 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
