The Colony of Weatherly is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.566 billion Weatherlyians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Weatherlyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,466 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,827 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, a passport is literally priceless, and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weatherly's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Weatherly is ranked 288,088^th in the world and 5,346^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -18.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
