The Kingdom of Wellish is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 402 million Welshires 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhyne. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The all-consuming Welshire economy, worth 38.4 trillion welshes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,561 welshes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Welshire flag, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wellish's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wellish is ranked 33,043^rd in the world and 974^th in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 7.73 bananas ingested per day.
