The Tree Branch and Star of Wansul is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.1 billion Wansulians 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 government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eleyesé. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wansulian economy, worth a remarkable 2,697 trillion Argónts a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 191,311 Argónts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, maximum security Wansulian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, and the atmosphere in Wansulian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime is totally unknown. Wansul's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Wansul is ranked 202,662nd in the world and 8,124th in Balder for Safest, scoring 42.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
