The Fiefdom of House Wydman is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.72 billion House Wydmanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The strong House Wydmanian economy, worth 93.0 trillion gold dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,050 gold dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. House Wydman's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

House Wydman is ranked 103,039^th in the world and 847^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 83.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
