“Worth for the Worthy”

The Jingoistic States of Wellackshulia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 343 million Wellackshulians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 19.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wellackshulian economy, worth 24.8 trillion Doges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,398 Doges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Decongestants have replaced Doges in street transactions, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, airport security is provided by private companies, and selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wellackshulia's national animal is the zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wellackshulia is ranked 23,015^th in the world and 75^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Safest, scoring 112.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
