The Old Lady's House of Winglick is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by cat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.014 billion Winglickians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of maus. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Winglickian economy, worth 71.0 trillion mices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,975 mices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winglick's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Winglick is ranked 311,583^rd in the world and 4^th in vault 76 for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
