The Fiefdom of Watari is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.219 billion Watarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.6%.

The Watarian economy, worth 282 trillion runes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,146 runes, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, students do more community service than homework, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Watari's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Watari is ranked 263,494^th in the world and 2,734^th in Remembrance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 10.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
