The Nonstop Whining of Whymi is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Lady Karen McSuffers with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 8.163 billion Whymians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victimstein. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Whymian economy, worth 255 trillion whines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,250 whines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, the government is reining in public spending, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whymi's national animal is the cuttlefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Imaginary Persecution.

Whymi is ranked 170,199th in the world and 12th in T2R for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
