The Democratic States of W1nky is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by president with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 11.607 billion W1nkyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Disney. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient W1nkyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion hong kong dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 179,909 hong kong dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. W1nky's national animal is the flower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is buddhism.

W1nky is ranked 2,276^th in the world and 1^st in Ridgefield for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,446.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
