The Afrikaner Free State of Wanderjar is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by State President Michael Blair with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.797 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bloemfontein. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and corporate lobbying has been outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wanderjar's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Wanderjarian Rand.

Wanderjar is ranked 5th in the region and 808th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
