The Republic of Waterval is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.244 billion Watervalians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The strong Watervalian economy, worth 229 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 54,162 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Waterval's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Waterval is ranked 167,490^th in the world and 7,943^rd in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 54.43 on the Human Development Index.
