The Republic of Wsb is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.628 billion Wsbians 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.0%.

The Wsbian economy, worth 129 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,212 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is almost non-existent. Wsb's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Wsb is ranked 208,983^rd in the world and 5^th in Regions for Largest Black Market, with 422 billion Standard Monetary Units.
