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.

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.

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.
