The Republic of of Werneil Idossia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Oskar Werneil with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.43 billion Werneil Idossians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nelia. The average income tax rate is 43.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Werneil Idossian economy, worth 245 trillion Wers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,546 Wers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Werneil Idossia's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Werneil Idossia is ranked 103,118th in the world and 5,327th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
