The People's Republic of Wistenda is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Faicle Wisterna with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 1.035 billion Wistendians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Floriteria. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wistendan economy, worth 72.0 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,611 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Wistendan pirates, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wistenda's national animal is the wisteria bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wistenda is ranked 205,684^th in the world and 117^th in Karma for Largest Populations, with 1.03 billion capita.
