The Republic of Waisnor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Monov with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.284 billion Waisnorians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grodno. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waisnorian economy, worth 681 trillion thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,405 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is funneling billions into Cape Waisnor following the shuttle crash, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and rumor has it that Alexander Monov has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waisnor's national animal is the heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Waisnor is ranked 187,510^th in the world and 32^nd in Arcesia for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
