The Wintrean Monarch of Wintermoot is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Inric Nordrim Kestar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.991 billion Wintermootians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wintermoot City. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wintermootian economy, worth a remarkable 2,277 trillion nothings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,023 nothings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign government's extravagances, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wintermoot's national animal is the nothing, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wintermoot is ranked 235,127^th in the world and 310^th in Wintreath for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
