The Ravanian Outpost of North Wayland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rainer Ravenclaw with a fair hand, and renowned for its enforced nudity. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.17 billion North Waylandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The very strong North Waylandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion Ways a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 44,822 Ways, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, The Order of the Raven has been named as North Wayland's national religion, public nudity is compulsory, and Rainer Ravenclaw has just been declared ruler of North Wayland in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. North Wayland's national animal is the squirrel and its national religion is The Order of the Raven.

North Wayland is ranked 156,532^nd in the world and 1^st in Eggplant City for Most Beautiful Environments, with 510.56 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
