The Community of The Downwind Isles is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 167 million Downwind Islesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Downwind Islesian economy, worth 6.08 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,413 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, the study of medicine is popular throughout The Downwind Isles, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in The Downwind Isles to be bombproof. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Downwind Isles's national animal is the parakeet.

The Downwind Isles is ranked 292,494^th in the world and 436^th in Council of Asia for Largest Populations, with 167 million capita.
