The Democratic Republic of Waov is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.692 billion Waovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kentora City. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Waovian economy, worth 294 trillion Waovian Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,348 Waovian Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, environmental legislation occurs cyclically, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waov's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Waov is ranked 110,844^th in the world and 392^nd in The Frontier Sea for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,582.27 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
