The United Socialist States of Wemble is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.26 billion Wembleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leadertown. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wemblean economy, worth 750 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,870 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, finders keepers is the law of the land, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wemble's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wemble is ranked 74,963^rd in the world and 914^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 90,870.23 Standard Monetary Units.
