The Free Land of Waffia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fomgel Renlaar with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.277 billion Waffians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikkelbil. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Waffian economy, worth a remarkable 3,297 trillion Waffian Bikkels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 180,422 Waffian Bikkels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others, aeroplanes have been converted into housing units after all air travel was outlawed, a passport is literally priceless, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Waffia's national animal is the Adélie penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Waffia is ranked 38,854th in the world and 10th in Banaanvraag for Most Stationary, with 1,169.4780362558 days.
