The Republic of Wanzotmo is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.75 billion Wanzotmoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qoizye. The average income tax rate is 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wanzotmoan economy, worth 376 trillion republiktalers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,323 republiktalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, every week is blindness awareness week, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wanzotmo's national animal is the Wanzotmoan painted buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wanzotmo is ranked 62,837^th in the world and 1,275^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,112.23 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
