The Federal Empire of Wencee is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.732 billion Wenceeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abilonia. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wenceean economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion Abilonians a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 79,186 Abilonians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abilonia's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wencee's national animal is the Pandora, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wencee is ranked 289,015^th in the world and 146^th in Estalcia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.82 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
