The Sovereign Republic of Waylandia

“Unleashing Efficiency, Achieving Excellence”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Sovereign Republic of Waylandia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Maximilian Sterling with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.849 billion Waylandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waymark. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waylish economy, worth 189 trillion Wanths a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,268 Wanths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and discarded pennies litter the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waylandia's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Waylandia is ranked 270,807^th in the world and 5,877^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.76 flags saluted per person per day.
