The Juggernaught War State of Warson is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Father with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 40.717 billion Wariors are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bunker. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Warsonian economy, worth an astonishing 19,762 trillion Bullets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 485,359 Bullets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,545,902 per year while the poor average 4,369, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, foreign nationals who stumble near Warson are harbingers of war, and blocks empty out when a Bigtopian family moves in down the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Warson's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Warson is ranked 295,157th in the world and 2,146th in the Rejected Realms for Most Developed, scoring 50.33 on the Human Development Index.
