The Last Stand of War Weary is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Achilles with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.339 billion War Wearyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ptsd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.4%.

The frighteningly efficient War Wearyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,520 trillion Poppy Seeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 222,250 Poppy Seeds, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Weary's national animal is the Skeleton, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is MacArthurism.

War Weary is ranked 5,239^th in the world and 1^st in War Weary for Lowest Crime Rates, with 115.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
