The Constitutional Republic of Wersh is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Hallon with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.701 billion Wershians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corlabelm. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wershian economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Houers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,082 Houers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from President Hallon's rear echelons, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and Wershians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wersh's national animal is the Sun Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wersh is ranked 172,085th in the world and 2,365th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 94.07981478888 days.
