The Eerie Night Gardeners of Winterwheat is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gorbal with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.215 billion lolicatgirls are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Innsmouth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Winterwheatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,029 trillion Gorbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 197,470 Gorbs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 589,768 per year while the poor average 51,741, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, it is said that a Winterwheatian woman's work is never done, the nation is in perpetual campaign mode, and W-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winterwheat's national animal is the Changar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gorbulock.

Winterwheat is ranked 7,538^th in the world and 1^st in Mesa Verde for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,181.04 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
