The Fabled Republic of Wischland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Maria von Eisenmerk with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.44 billion Wischlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fernimburg. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wischlandian economy, worth 292 trillion Orchis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 120,078 Orchis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, builders across Wischland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wischland's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wischland is ranked 7,016^th in the world and 122^nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,537.27 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
