The Republic of Wonsen is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 106 million Wonsenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Wonsenian economy, worth 992 billion Wonseon Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 9,360 Wonseon Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, organ donation is compulsory, genetic researchers have been expelled, and pocket dialling is a criminal offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wonsen's national animal is the Giant Mosquito, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wonsen is ranked 73,898^th in the world and 1,760^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 18.97 flags saluted per person per day.
