The Commonwealth of Not WHD is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sharon Stinnet with an iron fist, and notable for its feral children, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.74 billion Not WHDians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cistrict of Dolumbia. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Not WHDian economy, worth a remarkable 1,333 trillion dollars 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 152,533 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Shaking a stone out of your shoe is considered to be dangerously risqué, a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, only women may wear the crown of Not WHD, and cholera is seen as the holiest of diseases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not WHD's national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Order of Violet.

Not WHD is ranked 284,015^th in the world and 11^th in Department of Labor for Safest, scoring 5.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
