The Trade Congolomorate of Widgetalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Machiavelli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.91 billion Widgetalians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Widgetalia City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Widgetalian economy, worth an astonishing 17,396 trillion Sawbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 581,614 Sawbucks, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, dinosaur cloners are fitted with Ankylosaurus monitors, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Widgetalia's national animal is the Jungle Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hierarchigal Capitalisim.

Widgetalia is ranked 223,953rd in the world and 9,146th in Osiris for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
