“A posse ad esse”

The Dictatorship of Warangia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 605 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warangia City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Protests are legal but strictly supervised, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warangia's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the monetary equivalent.

Warangia is ranked 2412th in the region and 52,077th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
