The Republic of Wadelhelpia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Delia Helper with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 16.107 billion Wadelhelpians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wadelhelpton. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wadelhelpian economy, worth 852 trillion floryns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,910 floryns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and tourists are duped into trimming hedges for the horsy-set. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wadelhelpia's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Delegationism.

Wadelhelpia is ranked 52,241^st in the world and 23^rd in Nudist Dreamland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
