The Carolling Colony of GoodKingWenceslas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Nanook Nanook with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 6.685 billion Wenceslians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stephen. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse GoodKingWenceslasian economy, worth 341 trillion markkaa a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,044 markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the government's only official statement on the burning down of Stephen was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless', an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, and territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GoodKingWenceslas's national animal is the reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GoodKingWenceslas is ranked 217,244^th in the world and 98^th in Christmas for Most Secular, with 12.25 Atheism Rate.
