And you'll forgive me if this is the wrong place to put it, I hope. :(

The Wytn Factbook
Geography:
The Incorporated States of Wytn, also known as the continent of Wytn, consists of a single massive continent, containing vastly varying climate and resources. It is located in the southwestern quarter of the planet Sirilgia. Five very powerful and influential nations, hereafter known as the Five Nations, have almost completely decimated any residual countries outside of their jurisdiction, obliterating their cultures, and assimilating the populations into their own.
Atasia:
The smallest of the Five, and possibly the most influential, due to its wildly popular leader, Corif Andgel. The country itself consists of four volcanic islands, and a tiny peninsula on the mainland.
Economy: ‘Basket case’ (?)
Tax Rate: 44%
Exchange Rate: 1.25 Dollars = 3 parg
Unemployment:
Government type: Democracy
Capital city: Tab
Date of founding: April 11, 1214
National holiday: April 11
UN category: Democratic Socialists
Population (excluding slaves and other non-right-to-citizenship persons): 6 million +
Total population: 7 million +
Nationality: Atasian
Ethnic groups: Weyrwolven
National religion: Enforced Earth-based worship
Other practiced religions: None
National language: Grennic
Recognized languages within own nation apart from the national: Sandic, Weyr, and Kokorian dialects
Atipica:
Second-smallest country by far, and the least influential of all the Five. It has limited military forces, and the lands it holds are being constantly encroached upon by its larger neighbor- Youndetr. The country has a wall built up on its borders to keep its residents from escaping- much like The Iron curtain. People found crawling over the fence, or attempting to escape, are found to have lost their right to being a (class here) citizen. They are generally humiliated publicly, and made into slaves, and are then very freely traded with Atasia.
Economy: Strong
Tax Rate: 12%
Exchange Rate: 1 Gren = 5 parg
Unemployment: Relatively low
Government type: Anarchic Monarchy (Monarchy in which the monarchs may be replaced overnight by a more powerful, or a sneakier opponent. It is not uncommon for the country to have eight or nine rulers within a week or two of each other.)
Capital city: Poli
Date of founding: Unknown
National holiday: Feb. 2- The Queen’s day
UN category: Father Knows Best State
Current Monarch(s):
Emite Arankasha- Crown Princess, And Satures Graph`t, King
Population (excluding slaves and other non-right-to-citizenship persons): 6 million +
Total population (Including slaves and others that are not counted in the above): 7 mil. +
Nationality: Atasian
Ethnic groups: Weyrwolven, and the rare Bloodbred
Religion: Generally an Islamic derivative brought over by the Northwestern Atipican slaves during the 300’s.
Other practiced religions: Any and all. Other Religion(s) not persecuted.
National language: Weyr
Recognized languages within nation (Not the national language): Sandic
Northwestern Atipica:
The country split from Atipica in the early 1400’s, over a disagreement so obscure that no one even remembers it. As a result, the country is still young (In comparison to most of its neighbors), and its economy isn’t yet as stable as everyone else’s.
An interesting thing to note about Northwestern Atipica is its perpetually frozen lake- The Freeze Sea. The ice is so thick that it never melts- not even in the 98 degree summer heat!
Economy: Developing
Tax Rate: 35%
Exchange Rate: 2 scruples= 1 parg
Government type: Democracy
Capital city: Megabol
Date of founding: Unknown
National holiday: Jan 20- Reflection
UN category: Democratic Socialists
Population: 6 mil. +
Total population: 7 mil. +
Nationality: North Atipican
Ethnic groups: Weyr, Human
National religion: None
Other religions: All types
National language: Weyr
Recognized languages within nation (Not the national language): Grennic, Sandic
Youndetr:
Currently, Youndetr is the largest of the Five Nations. It is renowned for its people’s honesty and integrity, and for the fact that, over three thousand years of existence, the country itself has never shrunk beyond its original borders.
It is considering the possibility of inter-country relations with the Bracle Jae Isles (Small country- one of the only remaining survivors of the present assimilations by the Five.).
Economy: Fragile
Tax Rate: 49%
Exchange Rate: 8 pygm= 1.5 parg
Government type: General Anarchy
Capital city: Amarac
Date of founding: September 30, Unknown year
National holiday: August 31- Lugnasdh
UN category: Left-wing utopia
Population: 5 million +
Total population: 7 million +
Nationality: Youndrian
Ethnic groups: Weyr, Human
National religion: Ancestor worship (Similar to that found in different Chinese religions)
Other practiced religions: Goddess Worship, Different forms of Christianity, et cetera.
National language: Weyr
Recognized languages within nation (Not the national): Myriad local languages (Including Mandric, Stilltrin, and others.)
Buntrill:
Not much is known about Buntrill. The massive ice-walls that almost completely surround its lower half have isolated the population from the main continent for centuries. What is known about Buntrill is known only about the northern part of the country- the one readily accessible to the average traveler. The people are nice here, though they bear themselves about in an odd way, and speak an unheard of ancient tongue.
Their government has no name- they have no political parties to speak of, and perhaps the closest a person can come to describing it would be to call it a ‘Progressive Democracy.’
This is the only non-active member of the current Five Nations, and retains its land masses only because of the deep respect the general Weyrwolven population feels for Buntrill’s people, and the ancient culture that they share with the rest of the globe.
Tax Rate: 20 %
Exchange Rate: ? = ?
Nationality: Trillian
National language: Kokorian

Erm. More on request and as I get to typing it out, I 'spose?
