The Republic of Waterfallean 27 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.677 billion Waterfallean 27ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large but underdeveloped Waterfallean 27ian economy, worth 213 trillion guilders 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 31,987 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterfallean 27's national animal is the sheep.

Waterfallean 27 is ranked 71,356^th in the world and 17^th in Resuscitation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
