The Democratic Republic of Wandsbek is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.378 billion Wandsbekians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wandsbekian economy, worth 213 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 89,600 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and heavily subsidised Wandsbekian baskets litter the streets of Europe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wandsbek's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wandsbek is ranked 20,967^th in the world and 387^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 999.45 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
