The United Republics of Unified Waterford is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The South Waterford Military Junta with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 14.972 billion Waterfordians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The South Waterford City of Potsdam. The average income tax rate is 37.3%.
The large but inefficient Unified Waterfordian economy, worth 819 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,768 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, Unified Waterford's schoolchildren are manufactured into a segregated bunch of soldiers, religious zealots, and computer technicians, the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, and The South Waterford Military Junta has just been declared ruler of Unified Waterford in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unified Waterford's national animal is the Chinese Pug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Unified Waterford is ranked 27,431st in the world and 6th in Union of Allied States for Safest, scoring 110.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
