The Kingdom of VViliam is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Will with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.626 billion VViliamians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New VV. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient VViliamian economy, worth 686 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 261,567 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VViliam's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Willnism.

VViliam is ranked 2,354th in the world and 2nd in Civiles Conservare for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,682.81 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
