The Republic of Wraith- is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.81 billion Wraith-ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.4%.

The all-consuming Wraith-ian economy, worth 192 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 106,552 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, caroling is considered a public disturbance, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wraith-'s national animal is the Card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wraith- is ranked 76,846^th in the world and 3,990^th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,522.33 Standard Monetary Units.
