The Republic of Wacman is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bill Weld with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.255 billion Wacmanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wactown. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wacmanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,339 trillion Wac dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 170,852 Wac dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Wacmanian diplomacy is by the book, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Wacmanians any less frightened, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. Wacman's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wacism.

Wacman is ranked 104,208th in the world and 2,450th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,646.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
