The Republic of Washington Resistance Army is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Saint Maxim with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.415 billion Washington Resistance Armyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verdun. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The powerhouse Washington Resistance Armyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,573 trillion Ammunitions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 150,357 Ammunitions, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Saint Maxim's eyes only', declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Saint Maxim to progressive thinkers, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Washington Resistance Army's national animal is the Streetsweeper and its national religion is Cult of Pew.

Washington Resistance Army is ranked 319,041^st in the world and 10^th in Zentari for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
