The United Kingdom of Weghstate is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King David with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.698 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 27.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Weghstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,341 trillion slottskrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 170,959 slottskrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 864,271 per year while the poor average 18,806, a ratio of 46.0 to 1.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Weghstanians any less frightened, pregnant women make easy targets, and rich and poor neighborhoods are divided by the Red Line. 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 82,825th in the world and 522nd in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,192.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
