The Empire of Wazeww is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alpherano with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and feral children. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.049 billion Wazewwians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swagzew. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Wazewwian economy, worth 209 trillion WAZEWS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,233 WAZEWS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", the recent ban on computers is causing havoc throughout the nation, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wazeww's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Werzan.

Wazeww is ranked 266,394th in the world and 767th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 9.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
