The Grand Duchy of Wirmogengeld is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Duke with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.282 billion Wirmogengeldians 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, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haupstadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Wirmogengeldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,786 trillion Neo-Shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 284,435 Neo-Shekels, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,902,873 per year while the poor average 16,037, a ratio of 118 to 1.
Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience, doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins, and failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Wirmogengeld's national animal is the Chupacabra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Wirmogengeld is ranked 1,161st in the world and 1st in Solitude for Most Patriotic, with 121 flags saluted per person per day.
