The 0 of Wels is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.141 billion Welsians 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.

The all-consuming Welsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,197 trillion denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 84,660 denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, the 0 is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wels's national animal is the 0, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wels is ranked 299,009^th in the world and 1,271^st in the Plains of Perdition for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.9 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
