The Fabled Republic of Wischland is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Maria von Eisenmerk with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.058 billion Wischlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fernimburg. The average income tax rate is 44.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Wischlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,684 trillion Orchis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 119,825 Orchis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Clairvoyants and soothsayers find fellowship at their local McRonalds, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and President Maria von Eisenmerk's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wischland's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wischland is ranked 59,506^th in the world and 76^th in 10000 Islands for Most Politically Free, scoring 75.81 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
