The Staatenverbund of Greater Theowherveld is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Leona Hvalman III with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.866 billion Wherveldens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Langurlund. The average income tax rate is 9.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Whervelden economy, worth a remarkable 1,764 trillion Penningars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 199,011 Penningars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the people's love for Leona Hvalman III is little more than self-preservation, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Theowherveld's national animal is the Stork, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Greater Theowherveld is ranked 45,784^th in the world and 381^st in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,689.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
