The Federal Republic of Winklebottom

“E pluribus unum”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Winklebottom is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.383 billion Winktonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winkopolis. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Winklebottomian economy, worth an astonishing 13,158 trillion Winks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 433,077 Winks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is totally unknown. Winklebottom's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Winklebottom is ranked 239,025^th in the world and 2,594^th in the Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 417.85 milliStalins.
