The Most Serene Republic of Waith is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.454 billion Waithians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Waithian economy, worth 63.9 trillion Kromers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 18,501 Kromers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Waith are highly popular tourist destinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waith's national animal is the Sparrow , which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Waith is ranked 153,672^nd in the world and 7,149^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,197.13 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
