The People's Republic of Waiakea is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 395 million Waiakeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.4%.

The Waiakean economy, worth 20.2 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,184 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waiakea's national animal is the Cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Waiakea is ranked 41,154^th in the world and 22^nd in Callista for Most Beautiful Environments, with 737.7 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
