The People's Republic of Weyrland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jade Edmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.705 billion Weyrlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weyview. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Weyrlandian economy, worth 431 trillion Weymarks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,623 Weymarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the Weyrland Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', Weyrlandian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Jade Edmund, and left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weyrland's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Weyrland is ranked 16,151^st in the world and 462^nd in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 115.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
