The Trade Congolomorate of Widgetalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Machiavelli with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 24.547 billion Widgetalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Widgetalia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Widgetalian economy, worth an astonishing 15,284 trillion Sawbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 622,678 Sawbucks, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Widgetalia's national animal is the Jungle Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hierarchigal Capitalisim.

Widgetalia is ranked 285,788th in the world and 10,910th in Balder for Safest, scoring 2.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
