The Corporation of Wilbert is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Corporate Wilbert with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.756 billion Wilbertians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wilbert Towers. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Wilbertian economy, worth a remarkable 8,716 trillion textbooks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 400,628 textbooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
School guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, it is often said that only the Corporate Wilbert could bring down Dàguó, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, and schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilbert's national animal is the Zombie Wilbert, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Wilbert is ranked 287,233rd in the world and 11,087th in Balder for Safest, scoring 4.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
