OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Free Land of New Waverlyn is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 113 million New Waverlynians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The strong New Waverlynian economy, worth 6.24 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 55,201 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. New Waverlyn's national animal is the black mamba.

New Waverlyn is ranked 129,468th in the world and 419th in the Outback for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,460.07 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
