The State of Waddenlander is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.774 billion Waddenlanderians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The very strong Waddenlanderian economy, worth a remarkable 1,237 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,653 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, all tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Waddenlander's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waddenlander is ranked 147,812^th in the world and 107^th in State for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 74.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
