The Republic of Waitaha is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, humorless population of 14.402 billion Waitahans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The tiny government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Waitahan economy, worth 391 trillion macrocarpas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,205 macrocarpas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, only the brainiest citizens become academics, and organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Waitaha's national animal is the kowaro, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Waitaha is ranked 48,646th in the world and 16th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,868.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
