The Commune of Wishper is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Luna with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 22.296 billion Wishperians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zendar. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wishperian economy, worth a remarkable 3,935 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 176,532 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, fat-shaming is now public policy, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wishper's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Wishper is ranked 3,177th in the world and 159th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 138.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
