The Holy Empire of Whavergon is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 383 million Whavergonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The very strong Whavergonian economy, worth 24.9 trillion Kaepens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 65,065 Kaepens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Whavergon's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Whavergon is ranked 175,331^st in the world and 7,262^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 452.26 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
