The Empire of Cwh216 is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.813 billion Cwh216ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cwh216ian economy, worth 977 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,160 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

News editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Leader tend to disappear, pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh216's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cwh216 is ranked 324,084^th in the world and 654^th in Crestwood Heights for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
