The Constituent Nation of Wapitoko is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Youta with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.658 billion Wapitokans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyoto. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Wapitokan economy, worth a remarkable 1,948 trillion Sols 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 153,948 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Most ambassadors from Wapitoko retire only a few years after being appointed, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Faisan, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wapitoko's national animal is the Faisan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suhojanism.
Wapitoko is ranked 17,403rd in the world and 1,270th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
