The Republic of Waisnor is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kirill Isachenko with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.361 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 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waisnorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,234 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 145,470 thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, Waisnor successfully hosted the Iris Olympics, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. 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 65,836^th in the world and 1^st in Iris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,169.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
