Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Wip-Wap-Wam is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning imtoolazytothinkofone population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.05 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 small government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wip-Wap-Wam City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. A robust private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Military spending is on the increase, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, the government is spending billions of taxpayer imtoolazytothinkofones to support the Furniture Restoration industry, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wip-Wap-Wam's national animal is the imtoolazytothinkofone, and its currency is the imtoolazytothinkofone.

Wip-Wap-Wam is ranked 3rd in Turks and Caicos and 53,434th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
