The Perfect Filling of WA Pie Shop is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.377 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 32%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, medical lawsuits are out of control, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime is moderate. WA Pie Shop's national animal is the apies, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the warm apple filling.

WA Pie Shop is ranked 7th in Final Fantasy and 35,549th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
