The Wandering Souls of Waterana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 15.256 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 99%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and moon dolphin is one of the most popular forenames in Waterana. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterana's national animal is the moon dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the mana.

Waterana is ranked 4,092nd in the Pacific and 100,504th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -46 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
