The Arctic Island Empire of Waftoia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wj Ilokhich LXXIII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, anti-smoking policies, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.11 billion Noble Wafto Citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hofpoggokuj. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.

The very strong Wafto economy, worth 72.6 trillion Wafto Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,378 Wafto Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, Catholicism has been named as Waftoia's national religion, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and people spend a lot on hair and nails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waftoia's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Waftoia is ranked 112,950^th in the world and 732^nd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 13.87 flags saluted per person per day.
