The Republic of Wilkshire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Paul Williams with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 45.431 billion Wilkshireans 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 Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vasbury. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Wilkshirean economy, worth an astonishing 14,456 trillion wilkoes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 318,217 wilkoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilkshire's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wilkshire is ranked 27th in the world and 4th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 361.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
