The Republic of Waisnor is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexander Monov with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 10.324 billion Waisnorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grodno. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waisnorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,192 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waisnor's national animal is the heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Waisnor is ranked 3,815^th in the world and 1^st in Iris for Safest, scoring 135.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
