The Republic of Wysrod is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Atheros Graymalkin with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.966 billion Wysrodians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wysrod City at Durskerl Bay. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wysrodian economy, worth a remarkable 8,181 trillion Wysrodian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 482,253 Wysrodian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Wysrod's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Wysrod's national animal is the Draugluin Direwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Wysrod is ranked 391^st in the world and 13^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 48,237.24 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
