The Republic of Windesia is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 409 million Windesians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Windesian economy, worth 9.99 trillion Oxagens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 24,425 Oxagens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, even secular Windesians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Windesia's national animal is the Wensenic Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Windesia is ranked 300,404^th in the world and 24^th in the Quppet Storage for Highest Average Incomes, with 24,425.33 Standard Monetary Units.
