The Commonwealth of New Wezeltonia is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 26 million New Wezeltonians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair New Wezeltonian economy, worth 973 billion Weias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 37,442 Weias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Wezeltonia's national animal is the swan.

New Wezeltonia is ranked 98,478^th in the world and 32^nd in Ridgefield for Most Patriotic, with 15.24 flags saluted per person per day.
