The Dominion of The-Wired is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Lain Iwakura with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless, devout population of 23.216 billion Wireans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lain City. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Wirean economy, worth 886 trillion wireses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,201 wireses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, dark net forums trade the encryption keys to immortality, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The-Wired's national animal is the aniwire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Emperian.

The-Wired is ranked 59,077th in the world and 9th in Philippines for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 159.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
