The Confederacy of Whandsckj is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 310 million Whandsckjians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Numerun. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Whandsckjian economy, worth 23.4 trillion Whandsckjlvis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,430 Whandsckjlvis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and the Whandsckjian basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whandsckj's national animal is the Sea cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Whandsckj is ranked 49,138^th in the world and 171^st in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 60.93 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
