The Republic of Wyndland is a massive, genial nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.016 billion Wyndlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded 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 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wyndlandian economy, worth 249 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 123,790 oriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Highhaven for fear of causing a fuss, and school history books often refer to Leader as "that imperialist pig dog". 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 41,853^rd in the world and 253^rd in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,410.25 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
