“Land of Tumbleweed, Home of Sand”

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

The Commonwealth of Writin is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 231 million Writinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.

The very strong Writinian economy, worth 16.0 trillion Grains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 69,202 Grains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, farting etiquette is taught in schools, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, and voting is voluntary. Crime is well under control. Writin's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Writin is ranked 41,616^th in the world and 32^nd in Philosophers for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 723.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
