The Unified Authority of Of Withered Allyway is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by General Alex Un Vileour with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.495 billion Catalan witherers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castéllon de la plana. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Catalan witherer economy, worth a remarkable 3,424 trillion Quanta Pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 403,109 Quanta Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and spectating AI chess fans heckle players when they miss a mate-in-twenty-seven opportunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of Withered Allyway's national animal is the Catalonian retriever, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State atheism.

Of Withered Allyway is ranked 246,846^th in the world and 158^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 48.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
