The Federation of Wanabe is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Papewaio with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.498 billion Wanabeans 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 tiny government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The all-consuming Wanabean economy, worth 808 trillion talegoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,844 talegoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the red star of communism has been replaced by the gold star of the McRonald's badge, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy. Crime is totally unknown. Wanabe's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wanabe is ranked 158,431^st in the world and 6,112^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 5.24 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
