Featured Article

Wiese (German Wieserreich), formally Empire of Wiese (German Kaisertum Wieserreich), is a semi-totalitarian federal constitutional monarchy functioning within generally democratic time frames. It is the immediate successor of the old Holy Germanic Empire. The country is neighbouring the nations of Wendmark to the west, Danmark and Oltremare to the south, Greater Sarmatia and Životinje to the east, Ascheburg and Franken to the north-west, and Kryobaijan to the north. It is a landlocked country notable for its military policies and laws. Its capital and largest city is Augsburg.

Wiese is an economic powerhouse with a per capita income of €30.000,00, and an industrial power. Its economy is mainly in the form of services (62.7%), followed by industry (34.2%) and agriculture (3.1%). The small, highly mechanised agricultural sector is able to largely cover the country's consumption needs, and make it self-sufficient in basic necessities despite its small proportion in the economy and involved workforce. Natural wealth includes wood, large reserves of coal, natural gas, iron ore and uranium, and small reserves of petroleum, silver, gold, and diamonds. As Wiese needs to import petroleum, it tends to use synthetic fuel from its abundant natural gas and coal reserves, though petroleum-related fuel is not unheard of.

Etymology of the name

The country's name Wieserreich comes from the geographic region of the same name it occupies, a great plain starting from the Gap of the Elbe in the West and going east to meet the Sarmatian Plain. In English, the country's name is shortened to as Wiese, which is German for "meadow". Historically, the plain was, and sometimes still is, referred to as das Wieserreich, meaning "Realm of Meadows" in German.

During the War of the Roses in 1643 and the subsequent collapse of the Holy Germanic Empire, Queen Isabella I of Swabia was crowned Kaiserin in Wieserreich ("Empress in Wiese") and, after 1644, the full title of the Holy Germanic Emperor (Heiliges Germanisches Kaiser) was specially-tailored Wieser Emperor (Wieserreichisches Kaiser) since Isabella was a woman, and no woman could theoretically be crowned Holy Emperor. Since then, partly due to her long reign, the adapted title stuck.

Sneak preview

While editing a page, you can use the show preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).
