The Constitutional Empire of Wentburgh is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grant Strauss with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.255 billion Wentburghians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alsabins. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The thriving Wentburghian economy, worth 156 trillion Wentburgh Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,418 Wentburgh Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,797 per year while the poor average 14,697, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

Labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments.

Wentburgh's national animal is the Groar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Austro-Germanic Protestantism.
