The World Wide Web of WWW is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.639 billion WWWians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The WWWian economy, worth 926 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 79,573 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, the big red machine has ground to a halt, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WWW's national animal is the Troyan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

WWW is ranked 235,937th in the world and 7,518th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 22.66715215968 days.
