The Democratic States of Wettelrode is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.511 billion Wettelrodeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wettelrodean economy, worth 805 trillion Potatos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,681 Potatos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and the atmosphere in Wettelrodean boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wettelrode's national animal is the Marmot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wettelrode is ranked 38,211^th in the world and 1,312^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
