The Incorporated States of WF96 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.7 billion WF96ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.8%.

The frighteningly efficient WF96ian economy, worth 171 trillion banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,723 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WF96's national animal is the farm animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

WF96 is ranked 271,387th in the world and 52nd in Wilson Farms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
