The Wicked Realms of Wicko is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Warmage with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.759 billion Wicked are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Coven. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wicked economy, worth an astonishing 10,710 trillion нехs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 337,251 нехs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, electrocution deaths among computer technicians are at an all-time high, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wicko's national animal is the Hissing Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Weirding Way.

Wicko is ranked 4,058th in the world and 5th in New Coalition of Nations for Highest Food Quality, scoring 222.11 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
