The Republic of Wyndland is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.962 billion Wyndlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highhaven. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wyndlandian economy, worth 246 trillion oriks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,784 oriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wyndland's national animal is the white crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wyndland is ranked 10,363^rd in the world and 215^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 158.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
