The Authoritarian Empire of Wamia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Roi Wamiana with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, avant-garde cinema, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.668 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 large, 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. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,800 trillion Wamian Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,673 Wamian Kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 698,157 per year while the poor average 45,805, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and black gold is looking more brown these days. 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 11,848^th in the world and 254^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 89.6 on the Human Development Index.
