The ISO code of the Empire of logical Wits is LW.
The Empire of Logical Wits is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, cynical population is ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
A large private sector is led by:
- the Cheese Exports industry,
- followed by Arms Manufacturing
- and Trout Farming.
Gambling is outlawed, the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, organ donation is compulsory, and flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys.
Logical Wits's national animal is the lama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the monad.

Issues
10 nov 2006
- A peculiar confederacy of small-government advocates, regular attendees at Logical Wits's annual Medieval Faire, and the super rich have demanded that the government grant estates and confer titles of nobility upon certain influential persons.
- "I can't believe I'm hearing this," exclaims noted civil rights advocate Calvin Hanover. "Those who are behind this espouse a system that grants inordinate amounts of institutional power to the rich and ensures that no one will be able to climb the social ladder. Everyone in society must be granted an equal opportunity to succeed or fail. Say 'no' to a nobility!"
- Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Logical Wits, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.
- Charles Dodinas of the Logical Wits Civil Liberties Union says "We must welcome these refugees from any nation into our open arms, they are fleeing one oppressive dictatorial regime in the only way they know, we must not let them think they're jumping from the frying pan into the fire!"
12 nov 2006
- Increasing reports of child abuse and neglect in Logical Wits has prompted local pressure groups to call for 'parental licences'.
- "The answer to this problem is patently obvious," says Bill Chicago, your minister of Social Welfare. "The government simply needs to give more funding to the welfare department so that we can recruit more social workers to carry out regular checks on parents and judge whether or not they're doing a good job of looking after their children. It'll be expensive, but at least it's a damn sight fairer than licensing parents."
- After a recent left-wing broadsheet expose of agricultural practices, an outburst of public paranoia has stirred up the organic foods debate.
- "I just can't stomach it any more," rants concerned parent Abraham Licorish. "My children's future is being put at risk by irresponsible corporate practices. We must outlaw the use of pesticides and additives by farmers and food producers."
- An organized crowd of leather-clad individuals, some of whom are on leashes, are protesting against discrimination for those who share their interests.
- "We happen to express our love differently, with different hobbies and activities," explains BDSM enthusiast Aaron Falopian, while wearing needle-sharp spiked heels and holding a whip. "Shops exist to cater to the needs of 'normal' people, but do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get a quality whip? A little support for our hobbies would be appreciated!"
- A young mother was recently thrown out of a restaurant in Logical Wits for publicly breastfeeding her baby and 'upsetting the customers'. There are now demands for the government to state their position on the issue.
- "We should have a perfect right to feed our babies where we want and when we want without fear of harassment from anyone," declares Catherine Gratwick, a likewise young mother. "Why should women hide themselves away just to assuage the silly attitudes of these narrow-minded fogies? It's totally natural, and much healthier than bottle-feeding for both mother and child so why the fuss? Today, women are afraid to breastfeed in public and the law should be on their side - if not for their benefit, then for that of the children."
13nov 2006
- Free, youth-orientated martial arts programmes have gained popularity in communities where youth crime is a problem.
- "This is ridiculous!" comments police officer, Clint Longbottom. "Teach junior thugs how to fight? Good idea, why don't we teach them how to make bombs out of duct-tape and cheese next? I say we ban this archaic mode of combat which only serves to encourage these punks in their violent ways, and introduce more government funding for the police force! With more cash we could really show the little blighters what discipline's all about."
- The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Logical Wits has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.
- Teachers union President Klaus Clinton says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a damn good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians."
