The Republic of Wicklow-3 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.11 billion Wicklowians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bray. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wicklow-3ian economy, worth 92.9 trillion airgeads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,684 airgeads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wicklow-3's national animal is the kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wicklow-3 is ranked 16,006^th in the world and 71^st in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,599.12 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
