The Eternal Whispers of 1943 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 27.952 billion 1943ers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal Whisper. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped 1943ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,763 trillion spuds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,085 spuds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and the 1943ian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime is totally unknown. 1943's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

1943 is ranked 2,638^th in the world and 9^th in The Maritimes for Safest, scoring 138.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
