The Republic of Waena is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.342 billion Waenans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Healthcare and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 5.3%.

The Waenan economy, worth 285 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,441 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Waenan weed picker are way up, and internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Waena's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Waena is ranked 98,711^th in the world and 18^th in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for Largest Populations, with 5.34 billion capita.
