The Commonwealth of The Windward Isles is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 458 million Windwardians 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, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Windward Islesian economy, worth 57.3 trillion Windward Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 125,147 Windward Crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 612,611 per year while the poor average 14,666, a ratio of 41.8 to 1.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, the government spends countless taxpayer Windward Crowns on preserving soundbites of toddlers banging on pots and pans, Windhaven consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, and nobody wants to know how the sausage is made. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Windward Isles's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Windward Isles is ranked 34,665^th in the world and 44^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 81.2 on the Human Development Index.
