The Republic of Wysrod is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Atheros Graymalkin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.672 billion Wysrodians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wysrod City at Durskerl Bay. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wysrodian economy, worth an astonishing 10,448 trillion Wysrodian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 505,441 Wysrodian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Wysrod's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Wysrod's national animal is the Draugluin Direwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Wysrod is ranked 2,656^th in the world and 51^st in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 257.3 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
