The Dictatorship of Weltrathia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Weltrath with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.523 billion Weltrathians 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waterdeep. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weltrathian economy, worth a remarkable 3,391 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,300 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Weltrath's throne, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Weltrathia's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Weltrathian.

Weltrathia is ranked 94,330th in the world and 47th in Equestria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,066.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
