The Principality of Warmelia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The devout population of 708 million Warmelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Warmelian economy, worth 25.4 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,945 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warmelia's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Warmelia is ranked 94,177^th in the world and 5^th in Train Station for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,079.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
