The Republic of Wilkshire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Paul Williams with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.585 billion Wilkshireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vasbury. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wilkshirean economy, worth an astonishing 14,642 trillion wilkoes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 321,204 wilkoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and the entire entry for Wilkshire in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilkshire's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilkshire is ranked 1,283rd in the world and 62nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 927.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
