The Nomadic Peoples of Wishe is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bell Cranel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.374 billion Wisheans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuni. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wishean economy, worth 261 trillion Valis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. Average income is 77,645 Valis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wishe's national animal is the Muldjewangk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dream Times.

Wishe is ranked 281,235^th in the world and 162^nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.64 kickbacks per hour.
