The United Republic States of Wentsworth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Richard Carter with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, strictly enforced bedtime, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.553 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, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. 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 16,897 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 688,189 Austars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government violently suppresses separatist movements, anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. 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 292,893^rd in the world and 39^th in New Western Atlantic for Most Primitive, scoring -1435.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
