Map and Geography
In its early history, activity and role playing in Wysteria took place on what is now the Northern hemisphere. It was designed and maintained by Equus, one of the founders of the region. As more nations arrived and Wysteria grew larger, there was a need to expand the map to incorporate the new nations and a Southern hemisphere was added. Thus younger nations and continents are concentrated in the Southern hemisphere while older and more established nations are in the Northern hemisphere.
Regional alliances also developed along hemispherical lines such as LONAS (League of Non-aligned States) developed that quickly became the SWEC (South Wysterian Economic Community). This in turn became the Wysterian Union when the desire to expand beyond the southern hemisphere of the SWEC's mandate.
The map also reflects vanishing nation syndrome, which affected most, if not all, regions in NationStates.
For example, the continent of Stanley which was added after the immigration of nations from the NHL region who was experiencing VNS in the southern hemisphere. Additionally, the Wysterian Territories were added to remember earlier nations who had suffered from VNS.

Wysteria and the UN/WA
Wysteria has many members of the World Assembly (formerly the United Nations) and an elected Regional Delegate. It holds a poll on every resolution to determine the delegate's vote by democratic consensus. It also has a terminally underused 'Proposal Playground' for the drafting of legislation.
As of now, two Wysterians have written successful resolutions. Quintessence of Dust's last 6 resolutions for the UN, and resolutions for the WA, were passed while a member of the region. SchutteGod succeeded in passage of the Fairness and Equality Act while a member of the region; they later left for Lavinium.
Delegate history
Founder The Bruce originally occupied the delegacy position, but after three years stepped down. Flamebaittrolls won the resultant election, beating candidates Neverend, Freiheitreich and Sablestone. After a year and a half, a new election was held, with Gravelbourg beating Krensonia and Rebaltion (Millbrooksia initially declared, but subsequently withdrew their candidacy). Unfortunately, they had to stand down after only a few months. In the 2008 election Quintessence of Dust beat Americaistan and Terasjento (Nashban having withdrawn) to become the fourth delegate of Wysteria. QoD announced their intention to step down as delegate in reaction to controversial changes to the WA system in June 2009. The election held in September saw Iyari puppet Hydroponic Nation beat Kasper the Great by a substantial margin.
