The United Kingdom of Weghstate is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King David with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.661 billion Weghstanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Härmsdoerf. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Weghstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,339 trillion slottskrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 171,242 slottskrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 854,935 per year while the poor average 19,310, a ratio of 44.3 to 1.

Takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, it is a silent spring in Weghstate, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weghstate's national animal is the White Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Weghstate.

Weghstate is ranked 222,526^th in the world and 801^st in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,310.95 Standard Monetary Units.
