The United States of South Whitica is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Joe Momma with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.626 billion South Whiticans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairford. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming South Whitican economy, worth 304 trillion whitics a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 83,972 whitics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Whitica's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

South Whitica is ranked 75,726^th in the world and 330^th in Europe for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 3,443.24 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
