The People's Republic of Weeniestan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Head of State Richard D Cox with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.195 billion Weenies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ballston. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Weenish economy, worth 259 trillion Hairs a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,067 Hairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weeniestan's national animal is the Cyclopean Ball Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Weeniestan is ranked 324,202^nd in the world and 17,519^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
