The Federal Republic of Winklebottom is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.913 billion Winktonians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winkopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Winklebottomian economy, worth an astonishing 12,039 trillion Winks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 416,402 Winks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and W-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime is totally unknown. Winklebottom's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Winklebottom is ranked 877th in the world and 12th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4,825.66357824 days.
