The Democratic Republic of Isle of Wind is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sofie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.437 billion Windians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airyn. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isle of Windian economy, worth 152 trillion vents a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,871 vents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Airyn. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle of Wind's national animal is the flying fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Isle of Wind is ranked 276,626^th in the world and 96^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
