==Introduction==
 
−
The Soverign Republic of Willink is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.03 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator(Not RP'ed as Such), who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
 
  
−
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.
+
'''Willink''', officially the '''Constitutional Republic of Willink''', [[Willinkian]]:''Συνταγματική Δημοκρατία  Θαμελανώσε'', is an immense nation located in South-eastern [[Haven]]. Willink shares a sea border with the nations of [[Hamptonshire]] and [[Cravan]]. A highly [[Wikipedia:Post-industrial_society|industrialized]] and modern [[Wikipedia:Liberal Democracy|liberal democracy]], Willink is a major player in both regional and international politics.
  
−
The Willink Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the children of Willink are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Willink's national animal is the One-eyed monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dollar.
+
Willink consists of [[Willinkian Provinces|eighty-two provinces]], three overseas autonomous provincial holdings, and four colonies governed by a small, highly efficient libertarian government. Willink is an economic power, a world-leading producer of refined goods, and one of Haven's most progressive liberal democracies.
 +
 
 +
The Constitutional Republic is a member of several organizations, such as the UNA, Frye Sea pact, several economic groups through [[Haven]], is the founder of the Organization for International Economic Development, and until recently, was a member of the [[Sovereign League]] and the [[APOC|Alliance For the Preservation of Civilization]].

==History==

Willink is a nation with a very mysterious past. The Area was originally settled by natives migrating from nearby Ato-Sara. In 1400 a new people, immigrants from the nation of Green Sun settled in the area, and subsequently founded a small colony known as Greater Green Sun. In the midst of this, the majority of Natives either assiminated or were killed off, but otherwise lost power.
