The Socialist Misfits of Waterana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Tarise with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.265 billion Wateranians 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 Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkareth. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Wateranan economy, worth a remarkable 7,599 trillion manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 184,167 manas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Waterana, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', one does not simply walk into the tundra, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterana's national animal is the moon dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is reasonism.

Waterana is ranked 288,957th in the world and 4,052nd in the Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.36 kickbacks per hour.
