The Zero to Death of 20XX WAVESHINE is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Fawks Mak-Loud with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, enslaved workforce, and public floggings. The devout population of 6.845 billion BLIP BLIPPERS are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corneria. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The large but inefficient 20XX WAVESHINEian economy, worth 348 trillion FIYAHS a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,863 FIYAHS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, treason is relative, Fawks Mak-Loud spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 20XX WAVESHINE's national animal is the TORYAAAA, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

20XX WAVESHINE is ranked 84,306th in the world and 4,437th in Osiris for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,118.74 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
