The Borderlands of The Wicked Water is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning cat population. The hard-nosed population of 17.367 billion Wicked Waterians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Wicked Waterian economy, worth 455 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,251 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wicked Water's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Wicked Water is ranked 88,507^th in the world and 3^rd in The Great Conquerors for Most Armed, with 0.52 weapons per person.
