The Republic of Whig is a massive, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 2.472 billion Whigians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Whigian economy, worth 108 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,859 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime is totally unknown. Whig's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Whig is ranked 258,226^th in the world and 1,173^rd in Pacifism for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
