The Dictatorship of Wackasta is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.294 billion Wackastans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Wackastan economy, worth 626 trillion Delta eagles a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,842 Delta eagles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,024 per year while the poor average 18,696, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wackasta's national animal is the Wolf.

Wackasta is ranked 76,549^th in the world and 514^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
