The Kingdom of Wilvania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by His Exalted Wilfness with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.092 billion Wilvanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Wilvanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,227 trillion groats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 220,768 groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and jaywalking will put an end to a family tree. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilvania's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Wilvania is ranked 79,368th in the world and 2,370th in Lazarus for Most Extreme, scoring 26.1 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
