The War Machine of Weizmar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 25.502 billion Weizmarians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weizmar City. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Weizmarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion Weizputs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,858 Weizputs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Weizmar in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weizmar's national animal is the Weizfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Weizmar is ranked 123,123rd in the world and 5th in Polis for Most Developed, scoring 57.97 on the Human Development Index.
