The Watchfires of LWA is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 17.945 billion LWAians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The LWAian economy, worth 617 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,407 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and extreme hiring regulations mean a job in LWA is often a lifetime appointment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LWA's national animal is the Laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

LWA is ranked 7,639th in the world and 1st in Left Wing Army for Most Stationary, with 2,680.79308984688 days.
