Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Colony of North Wayland is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 1.325 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Retail.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. North Wayland's national animal is the squirrel, and its currency is the Way.

North Wayland is ranked 1st in The Northern States and 27,720th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 25 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
