The Kingdom of Wellsia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Andalvar with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 21.669 billion Wellsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oppidium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Wellsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,860 trillion Scales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 270,475 Scales, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Misbehaving Dolphins deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wellsia's national animal is the Dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Saculeum.

Wellsia is ranked 47,377^th in the world and 33^rd in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 5,885.55 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
