The Unified State of Wessols is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Supreme Wessolian with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.648 billion Wessolsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wessolopolis. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wessolsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,470 trillion denariis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,061 denariis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wessols's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Wessols is ranked 287,137^th in the world and 497^th in Sophia for Most Primitive, scoring -500.44 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
