The Federation of Wanabe

“Speak softly, and carry a big stick”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federation of Wanabe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Papewaio with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, humorless population of 11.556 billion Wanabeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wanabean economy, worth a remarkable 2,497 trillion talegoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,106 talegoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Wanabean language. Crime is totally unknown. Wanabe's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wanabe is ranked 2,301^st in the world and 57^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 192,931.25 Standard Monetary Units.
