The Commonwealth of The Windward Isles is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 476 million Windwardians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Windward Islesian economy, worth 60.1 trillion Windward Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,173 Windward Crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 611,664 per year while the poor average 15,065, a ratio of 40.6 to 1.

Even God cannot save you in The Windward Isles, the GPS-tracked jogging routes of military personnel are a possible security risk, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and begun the Clone Wars have. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Windward Isles's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Windward Isles is ranked 75,167^th in the world and 61^st in Aesica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,855.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
