The Dominion of Wussein is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.586 billion Wusseinians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machtwaín. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Wusseinian economy, worth 570 trillion Wuses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 220,618 Wuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,001,766 per year while the poor average 29,757, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.

Travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', people say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wussein's national animal is the Dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wussein is ranked 331,672^nd in the world and 105^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 0.53 Effective Tax Rate.
