The People's Republic of Wistenda is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Faicle Wisterna with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.03 billion Wistendians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Floriteria. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wistendan economy, worth 75.6 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,363 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Wistendan pirates, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wistenda's national animal is the wisteria bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wistenda is ranked 14,262^nd in the world and 27^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,459.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
