The Insurgent Breakaway State of Wazyria is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Che Jazeera with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.981 billion Wazyrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Martyrsburg. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Wazyrian economy, worth 122 trillion ¥escas 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 20,465 ¥escas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Wazyria, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wazyria's national animal is the Rattlesnake and its national religion is Atheism.

Wazyria is ranked 89,828th in the world and 54th in International Democratic Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
