The Kingdom of Winfallow is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexei Iouélli I with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 18.206 billion Winfallans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irielos. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Winfallan economy, worth a remarkable 1,490 trillion Heels a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,876 Heels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Winfallow in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winfallow's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Praecanism.

Winfallow is ranked 309,148^th in the world and 11,768^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
