The Free Land of Dave Weldon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Giraffe population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.821 billion Dave Weldonians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.
The very strong Dave Weldonian economy, worth 973 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 61,555 Platinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,038 per year while the poor average 15,618, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dave Weldon's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Dave Weldon is ranked 103,993rd in the world and 257th in Memeland United for Highest Food Quality, scoring 22.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
