The United Kingdom of Weghstate is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by King David with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.861 billion Weghstanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Härmsdoerf. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Weghstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,376 trillion slottskrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 171,435 slottskrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 849,556 per year while the poor average 19,616, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, and the same 13861 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with King David's every word on Twitcher. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weghstate's national animal is the White Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Weghstate.

Weghstate is ranked 113,312th in the world and 341st in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,929.31 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
