The Elected Monarchy of World Trade is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Monarch Elect Эдwaрд Wйт with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.678 billion Brussians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Elizabeth. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient World Tradean economy, worth a remarkable 4,097 trillion Dizhikwids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 323,192 Dizhikwids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and the doctor has cold hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. World Trade's national animal is the wild Prince Charles, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

World Trade is ranked 264,567^th in the world and 217^th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 13.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
