The Nomadic Peoples of Watariyen is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rabbit Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, strictly enforced bedtime, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.814 billion Watariyenians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seat Of His Greatness. The average income tax rate is 76.7%.

The strong Watariyenian economy, worth 159 trillion rings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,173 rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and fire and brimstone sermons are accompanied by napalm and fragmentation bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Watariyen's national animal is the black swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jubala.

Watariyen is ranked 25,013th in the world and 1,412th in Osiris for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.69 Effective Tax Rate.
