The Principality of Wert is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.024 billion Wertians 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 Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Wertian economy, worth 56.8 trillion 3qewrdfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 55,482 3qewrdfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government spends millions of tax 3qewrdfs on vouchers to pay for expensive private schools, safe drinking water is considered a luxury, celebrity wrestlers thumb their nose at due process, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wert's national animal is the safecode, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Wert is ranked 232,184th in the world and 15th in Greater Sahara for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
