The Republic of Waisnor is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Kirill Isachenko with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.622 billion Waisnorians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grodno. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waisnorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,295 trillion thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,926 thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, the children of Waisnor are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, and prison visits increase substantially during election years. 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 61,106^th in the world and 1^st in Iris for Highest Drug Use, scoring 253.71 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
