The Authoritarian Empire of Wamia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Roi Wamiana with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.506 billion Wamians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willisopholis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wamian economy, worth 672 trillion Wamian Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 191,712 Wamian Kronor, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 997,320 per year while the poor average 19,902, a ratio of 50.1 to 1.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wamia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wamian Catholicism.

Wamia is ranked 185,890^th in the world and 1,124^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
