The Bandmastr of Waterfall State is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Kato Saki with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 15.543 billion Watrfallans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hthrau. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Watrfallan economy, worth a remarkable 3,728 trillion ryous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 239,884 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, the car industry has been kicked into one-gear, and the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterfall State's national animal is the bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Band Comptition.

Waterfall State is ranked 1,483^rd in the world and 41^st in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 98.26 on the Human Development Index.
