The Most Serene Republic of The Wintergarden is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by La Serenissima with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 20.172 billion Winterguardians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Winterguardian economy, worth a remarkable 4,319 trillion twigs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 214,128 twigs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,631,568 per year while the poor average 7,741, a ratio of 210 to 1.
Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, becoming a missionary is a sure-fire route to martyrdom, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Wintergarden's national animal is the Silver Birch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is money.
The Wintergarden is ranked 4,621st in the world and 1st in Command and Conquer for Most Stationary, with 3,368.66451072 days.
