The Autonomous Republic of Wheatlies is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.509 billion Wheatliesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soldat. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wheatliesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,013 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Wheatliesians, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, economists claim no news is good news, and the government has the power to seize property at will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wheatlies's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wheatlies is ranked 314,770^th in the world and 12^th in Sonindia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.67 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
