The Actual Wurst of Highslant is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 21.449 billion Highslantians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The Highslantian economy, worth 836 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 38,988 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and voting is voluntary. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Highslant's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Highslant is ranked 125,606^th in the world and 2^nd in Nakari for Safest, scoring 72.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
