The Republic of Weccanfeld is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 882 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53%. A robust private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Teachers regularly paddle unruly students, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, citizens must pay to enjoy Weccanfeld's pristine beaches, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weccanfeld's national animal is the lizard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the weccanpund.

Weccanfeld is ranked 7th in the region and 25,491st in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
