The Commonwealth of Weatherwand is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shizuku with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.026 billion Weatherwandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Weatherwandian economy, worth 775 trillion Wandcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,709 Wandcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weatherwand's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Weatherwand is ranked 112,116^th in the world and 105^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 148,802 Standard Monetary Units.
