The Federal Republic of Winklebottom is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.27 billion Winktonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winkopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Winklebottomian economy, worth an astonishing 15,267 trillion Winks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 445,500 Winks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, Winktonians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away. Crime is totally unknown. Winklebottom's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Winklebottom is ranked 332,398^th in the world and 3,222^nd in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -56.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
