The Republic of WEDQ is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning TV population. The hard-working population of 7 million WEDQians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The WEDQian economy, worth 262 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 37,457 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WEDQ's national animal is the TV.

WEDQ is ranked 156,900^th in the world and 898^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 360.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
