The Federation of Wilbodessan is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 303 million Wilbutissuns have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 23.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Wilbodessanian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Willmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,925 Willmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and lavish state dinners in Wilbodessan City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure. Crime is totally unknown. Wilbodessan's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wilbodessan is ranked 25,973^rd in the world and 679^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
