The Impossibly Pretty Praetor of Wasc is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aleena with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.944 billion Wascians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Wascian economy, worth 174 trillion Native Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 25,142 Native Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and the Wasc Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wasc's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Wasc is ranked 234,578th in the world and 63rd in Magna Aurea for Most Stationary, with 22.88902701768 days.
