Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The First Distributed Kingdom of Weyr is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.782 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals concentrates mainly on Education, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology industries.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Weyr's national animal is the Lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Weyr.

Weyr is ranked 89th in Lazarus and 5,019th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 36 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
