The Republic of Wacman is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bill Weld with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.182 billion Wacmanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wactown. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wacmanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,329 trillion Wac dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 170,926 Wac dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", the country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Wacman's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wacism.

Wacman is ranked 45,256th in the world and 1,174th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
