The Empire of Wisty von Habsburg is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 374 million Wisty von Habsburgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The strong Wisty von Habsburgian economy, worth 23.9 trillion Monarch Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 64,003 Monarch Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wisty von Habsburg's national animal is the Monarch Butterfly, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
