The Trade Congolomorate of Widgetalia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Machiavelli with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.996 billion Widgetalians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Widgetalia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Widgetalian economy, worth an astonishing 11,482 trillion Sawbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 546,908 Sawbucks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,308,151 per year while the poor average 40,451, a ratio of 81.8 to 1.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and the navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Widgetalia's national animal is the Jungle Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hierarchigal Capitalisim.

Widgetalia is ranked 771^st in the world and 31^st in Balder for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 9,767.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
