The United Kingdom of Willemschurst is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 819 million Willemschurstians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roskılde. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.8%.

The all-consuming Willemschurstian economy, worth 77.4 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 94,444 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 301,351 per year while the poor average 22,501, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Citizens have a tough time telling the difference between jeans and genes, black gold is looking more brown these days, Lion is one of the most popular forenames in Willemschurst, and undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Willemschurst's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Willemschurst is ranked 127,942nd in the world and 2,018th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 558.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
