The Collective of Wineclaw is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.851 billion Wineclaws are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Consciousness. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Wineclaw economy, worth a remarkable 2,020 trillion cells a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,933 cells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, vaccinations are mandatory, the official Wineclaw Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wineclaw's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wineclaw is ranked 244,454^th in the world and 10,194^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
