The United Kingdom of Weihbach is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Winston V with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.541 billion Weihbachians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felses. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Weihbachian economy, worth 658 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,511 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical lawsuits are out of control, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weihbach's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Weihbach is ranked 280,316th in the world and 290th in Wintreath for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.22 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
