The Free Land of Wesshvi is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 45 million Wesshvians 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 Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Wesshvian economy, worth 308 billion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 6,855 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Wesshvian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wesshvi's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wesshvi is ranked 235,187^th in the world and 3,170^th in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.82 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
