The Constitutional Monarchy of William1234 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.86 billion William1234ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong William1234ian economy, worth 129 trillion guldens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,657 guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judges are all-powerful, the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. William1234's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

William1234 is ranked 235,812^th in the world and 7,855^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -117 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
