The Federal Republic of Wardenion is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Victor Perepelnikov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.204 billion Wardens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slipgate Keep. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wardenion economy, worth 607 trillion Wardenian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,645 Wardenian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and billions are being spent on a new island airport. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wardenion's national animal is the Emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Wardenion is ranked 278,524^th in the world and 3,897^th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -318.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
