The Collective of Wineclaw is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.513 billion Wineclaws are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Wineclaw economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 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 109,778 cells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. 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 5,234^th in the world and 243^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 94.37 Effective Tax Rate.
