The Kingdom of Wombelland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Robert Siebel with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.422 billion Wombelians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wombeldon. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wombelian economy, worth a remarkable 3,586 trillion Wombel Talers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,603 Wombel Talers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, pregnant women make easy targets, and the official Wombelian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wombelland's national animal is the Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is religious liberty.

Wombelland is ranked 16,368^th in the world and 255^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 313.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
