Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of Wheres Wally is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.621 billion 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wheres Wally City. The average income tax rate is 4%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Soda Sales.

Teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wheres Wally's national animal is the Woof, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Scroll.

Wheres Wally is ranked 1st in Found and 112,779th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -330 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
