The Collective of Wineclaw is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.645 billion Wineclaws hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wineclaw economy, worth 953 trillion cells a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,293 cells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wineclaw's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wineclaw is ranked 22,654^th in the world and 379^th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 8.64 billion Capita.
