The Republic of Greater Wahpeton is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Edward H Loll with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 19.709 billion Greater Wahpetonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Bend. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.

The powerhouse Greater Wahpetonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,750 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 88,841 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,219 per year while the poor average 16,243, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Greater Wahpeton's national animal is the Prairie Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Wahpeton is ranked 63,828^th in the world and 2^nd in State of North Dakota for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 482.1 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
