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

The Republic of Wankarstan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eriah Carey with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.563 billion Wankars 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wankar London. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The powerhouse Wankar economy, worth 566 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,246 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and attempts at growing pineapples in the desert have been unsuccessful. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wankarstan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wankarstan is ranked 16,759^th in the world and 162^nd in Ambition for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 71,412.49 Standard Monetary Units.
