The Authoritarian Empire of Wamia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Roi Wamiana with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.528 billion Wamians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willisopholis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Wamian economy, worth 678 trillion Wamian Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 192,406 Wamian Kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 923,829 per year while the poor average 23,399, a ratio of 39.5 to 1.

Garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wamia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wamian Catholicism.

Wamia is ranked 210,901st in the world and 734th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -89.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
