The Dominion of Wessara is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tirell Marksal with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.228 billion Wessarans 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 Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panther Hill. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wessaran economy, worth a remarkable 4,389 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 270,512 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, posters on 'Wessaran Values' advise against being proud of Wessara, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wessara's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wessara is ranked 287,423^rd in the world and 1^st in Some Peace And Quiet for Most Primitive, scoring -516.59 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
