The State of Department of WA Affairs is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mr Mental with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 6.777 billion *Muffled sounds of gorilla violence* are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Healthcare, with Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Basement. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped *Muffled sounds of gorilla violence* economy, worth 251 trillion Mones 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 37,068 Mones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of The Basement, Harry Potter books are banned, Mr Mental has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Mr Mental is the self-declared God of all Department of WA Affairs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Department of WA Affairs's national animal is the Monke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drunkenism.

Department of WA Affairs is ranked 288,028^th in the world and 263^rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.35 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
