The Confederate Kingdom of Wardie land is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Her Imperial Majesty the Queen Sophia I with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 19.593 billion Wardians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Wardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion Imperial Pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,601 Imperial Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 519,323 per year while the poor average 21,255, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.
Education for the poor is learning to ask "do you want fries with that?", political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Wardie land's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Anglicanism.
Wardie land is ranked 229,667th in the world and 6,750th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 24.92888682328 days.
