The Commonwealth of Wealthland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Richard II with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.278 billion Wealthlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wealthland City. The average income tax rate is 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Wealthlandian economy, worth 287 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,015 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, a third of Wealthlandians are e-certified CEOs, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Wealthland are famed for their reasonable volume levels, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wealthland's national animal is the Ruby Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Diamondism.

Wealthland is ranked 92,387^th in the world and 348^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,161.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
