The District of William Larimer is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by privy council chairman with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.003 billion William Larimerians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The all-consuming William Larimerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,372 trillion juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,028 juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,206 per year while the poor average 10,488, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, William Larimer has designated District City as its capital city, and Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of William Larimer in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. William Larimer's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

William Larimer is ranked 3,310^th in the world and 1^st in Funafuti for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,153.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
