The Surfers of Wipe Out is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning animal population. Its cynical population of 3.894 billion 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Cheese Exports industry.

The police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, gigantic new prisons are springing up all over the nation, and the Federal Council of Wipe Out has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Wipe Out's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the credit.

Wipe Out is ranked 3rd in Fidelia and 72,233rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
