The Smiling Faces of Wabahuu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Hank Marvin with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 28.598 billion Wabahuuans 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, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Social Policy, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wabahuu City. The average income tax rate is 42.5%.

The Wabahuuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,406 trillion Plectrums a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,173 Plectrums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, Wabahuu City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wabahuu's national animal is the Stratocaster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wabahuu is ranked 42,788th in the world and 6th in The Kingdom of Burgundy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
