The Nuked landmass of Old Wastelands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Henry Eden with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, smutty television, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.215 billion Wastelanders are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vault 76. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Wastelander economy, worth a remarkable 5,373 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 378,047 Bottlecaps, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,305,922 per year while the poor average 80,039, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, the SWAT team always rings twice, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and a popular Wastelander saying is 'wishing upon a fallen jet engine'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Old Wastelands's national animal is the Brahmin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atom.

Old Wastelands is ranked 294,025^th in the world and 11,120^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.07 average smiles per day.
