The Most Serene Republic of Whimelm is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 86 million Whimelmians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.7%.

The strong Whimelmian economy, worth 4.14 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,142 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whimelm's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Whimelm is ranked 226,573^rd in the world and 4,163^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
