The Collective of Wineclaw is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.263 billion Wineclaws love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wineclaw economy, worth 553 trillion cells a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,307 cells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. 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 147,193^rd in the world and 7,413^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -18.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
