Watt Island

The Republic of Watt Island is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.621 billion Watt Islandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Watt Islandian economy, worth 810 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,459 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Watt Island's national animal is the Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Watt Island is ranked 127,406th in the world and 367th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 265.45859399528 days.
