“Far From It”

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

The State of Willow Wisp is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.589 billion Willow Wispians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The very strong Willow Wispian economy, worth 802 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 26,245 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, military spending is on the increase, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Willow Wisp's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Willow Wisp is ranked 166,228^th in the world and 1^st in Bridgeport for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 379.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
