The State of Wilhelm III is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.632 billion Wilhelm IIIians 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 prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 15.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wilhelm IIIian economy, worth 628 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,012 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Wilhelm III has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Wilhelm III's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wilhelm III is ranked 195,092^nd in the world and 7^th in Berlin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
