The United Kingdom of Weghstate is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King David with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.886 billion Weghstanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

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 28.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Weghstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,383 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 171,677 slottskrons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 844,501 per year while the poor average 19,929, a ratio of 42.4 to 1.

Government policy is dictated by Church of Weghstate, purported secret military bases are dismissed by King David to be highly-advanced toilet factories, the internal market is thriving, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. 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 303,668^th in the world and 761^st in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -17 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
