The Authoritarian Empire of Wamia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Roi Wamiana with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.582 billion Wamians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willisopholis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wamian economy, worth 684 trillion Wamian Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 191,181 Wamian Kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 847,024 per year while the poor average 26,949, a ratio of 31.4 to 1.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, foreign leaders are advising that Roi Wamiana's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wamia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wamian Catholicism.

Wamia is ranked 12,107^th in the world and 108^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,985.98 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
