The Borderlands of Wapiki is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 10.65 billion Wapikians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Wapikian economy, worth 502 trillion Wapipis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,167 Wapipis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, army rations are served on silver platters, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wapiki's national animal is the Wakawaka.

Wapiki is ranked 83,321^st in the world and 3,206^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,632.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
