The Democratic People's Republic of Witron is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dave Hedgehog and Spudgun with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 28.225 billion Witronians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vuzois. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Witronian economy, worth a remarkable 3,141 trillion Sceats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 111,299 Sceats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Witron's national animal is the Ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is 470.
Witron is ranked 12,011th in the world and 1st in Sumpter for Most Stationary, with 2,079.1060304824 days.
