The Most Serene Republic of Wu-wei is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 890 million Wu-weians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wu-weian economy, worth 86.1 trillion qis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,775 qis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's peacekeeping efforts usually come with a healthy dose of pillaging, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wu-wei's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wu-wei is ranked 240,539^th in the world and 1,009^th in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,871.37 Standard Monetary Units.
