The United Republic States of Wentsworth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Richard Carter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, pith helmet sales, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.339 billion Wentsworthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Wentsworthian economy, worth an astonishing 16,727 trillion Austars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 687,285 Austars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wentsworth's national animal is the Eaglehawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Wentsworth is ranked 6,721st in the world and 5th in New Western Atlantic for Most Cultured, scoring 143 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
