WY registered agent
Wyoming, $36 a year, in that direction
The general picture for Wyoming. What the state does about an agent it cannot locate comes first, since that is the specific part. Then where the lawsuit goes, the statute and the rest, in the state's own words, which are exact. Ours are not, and are short.
What the state does when it cannot locate the agent
The remedies, in the code's words. We have added nothing, because adding would require being specific.

What the state asks of an agent, specifically

The Wyoming yearly charge, which is exact
Every year Wyoming sends a bill to keep the company on the books. This is the bill, and it is the one specific number on the page. Not paying it is a saving, the way we are a saving, until the state gets specific about it.
Yearly charge, LLC
$60 each year, and that number is exact.

Where we stand on this
Over there. Gesture. Somewhere in the state, in any case.

Some of what is out there
Ask where the office is and we point at the horizon. These are some of the things in that direction, more or less, photographed by people who committed to a specific spot.
the Lamar Valley
Storm light over the valley, which is out that way. The office is also out that way. Different distances. We could not say how different.

the Teton Range
The range at sunset from a parcel of sagebrush. Point at it from anywhere in the valley and you are pointing at the office, approximately.

Swan Lake Flat
A thunderstorm at sunset with most of the frame given over to sky. The ground is a formality. So is the address.

the National Elk Refuge
The refuge at sunset, lit from below. Somewhere down there are several thousand elk and no office. Gesture at the elk.

Blacktail Butte
Sunrise from the butte over the valley and the range. From up there you can see everywhere the office might be. That is the appeal.
