The Revolutionary Republic of Wanasnaswa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Revolutionary Council with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 15.887 billion Wanasnaswans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rìo. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wanasnaswan economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion Dollars 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 Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 137,851 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonial subjects have Wanasnaswan culture shoved down their throats, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wanasnaswa's national animal is the Wanasnaswan Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wanasnaswa is ranked 10,386^th in the world and 2^nd in CISB Reforged for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,525.8 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
