The State of Winisk is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.99 billion Winiskians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Winiskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,394 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 36,709 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,580 per year while the poor average 1,972, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Winisk has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Winisk in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Winisk's national religion, and the love has gone in Winisk. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Winisk's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Winisk is ranked 79,341^st in the world and 117^th in State for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,788.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
