The Mine's better than yours of Waifu8 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.558 billion Waifu8ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.6%.

The powerhouse Waifu8ian economy, worth 747 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,898 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,813 per year while the poor average 20,829, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

The lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and the Waifu8 City Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waifu8's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waifu8 is ranked 71,530th in the world and 306th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Nudest, with 189.75 cheeks per square mile.
