The Free Land of Wheateria is a very large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 256 million Wheaterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Wheaterian economy, worth 10.5 trillion Tintans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,198 Tintans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Research grant proposals read like political diatribes, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wheateria's national animal is the Tintism, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wheateria is ranked 174,633^rd in the world and 2,592^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 453.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
