The Provincial Union of Werstonal is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Premier Governess Jasawén Näkoga with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, devout population of 10.517 billion Wérstonalans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korökawen. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wérstine economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion Kopéns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 116,707 Kopéns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and sweat stains are proof of political acumen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Werstonal's national animal is the Blue-horned humming bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ka'öism.

Werstonal is ranked 243,878^th in the world and 60^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
