The ✌ Minarchy ✌ of Weed is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Natalia Corvis with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 27.232 billion Weedians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cannabourg. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Weedian economy, worth a remarkable 6,091 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 223,685 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,061,317 per year while the poor average 27,821, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", what citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, children keel over while singing "Natalia Corvis Gives Us the Water of Life", and students in Weed's schools rarely attend their classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Weed's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rastafari.

Weed is ranked 25,775^th in the world and 1^st in the Isles for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 242.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
