The Queen's State of Wiser is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.184 billion Wiserians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The thriving Wiserian economy, worth a remarkable 1,051 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,735 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 169,217 per year while the poor average 6,852, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the government is avowedly atheist, and Wiser has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wiser's national animal is the deer.

Wiser is ranked 258,395th in the world and 6th in Havana for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47 law-abiding acts per hour.
