The Old Kingdom of Windsion is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Henry II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.748 billion Windsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexsandria. The average income tax rate is 91.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Windsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,695 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 171,133 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, schoolchildren are arrested for possessing sidewalk chalk without a permit, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and there's a bustling black market for vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Windsion's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperial Order.

Windsion is ranked 183,746th in the world and 7th in Nova Historiae for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 273.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
