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

The Republic of The Wires Empire is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 434 million Wireans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rednick. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wirean economy, worth 38.9 trillion Wires a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,534 Wires, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Wires of property damage, and Leader signs the laws but abides by none of them. Crime is totally unknown. The Wires Empire's national animal is the Wirean Swamp Toad, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Wires Empire is ranked 191,109^th in the world and 883^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 416.96 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
