The Federal Republic of Winklebottom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.648 billion Winktonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, 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 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Winklebottomian economy, worth an astonishing 13,287 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 433,539 Winks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, emojis are the soul of wit, and when their backs are against the walls Winktonians look out for gay men. Crime is totally unknown. Winklebottom's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Winklebottom is ranked 26^th in the world and 1^st in the Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 465.79 cheeks turned per day.
