The Blue Holy Republic of Willy Pete is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Santa with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.637 billion Willies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.
The frighteningly efficient A Willy economy, worth a remarkable 1,770 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,941 Gold Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 347,253 per year while the poor average 33,494, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.
Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Willy Pete's national animal is the Zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.
Willy Pete is ranked 61,935th in the world and 109th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
