The Young Avengers of Wickling is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Bill and Ted with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.02 billion Wicklingians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wicklingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,434 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 187,002 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, several politicians have resigned following clarifications that "bribe" and "donation" are not actually synonyms, and countless government officials are accused of espionage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wickling's national animal is the skrull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Wickling is ranked 23,452^nd in the world and 5^th in Temporary Home for Most Developed, scoring 86.04 on the Human Development Index.
