The Fabled Republic of Wischland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Maria von Eisenmerk with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.523 billion Wischlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fernimburg. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wischlandian economy, worth 554 trillion Orchis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 122,705 Orchis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, builders across Wischland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wischland's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wischland is ranked 91,463^rd in the world and 616^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 157,261 Standard Monetary Units.
