The Bandmastr of Waterfall State is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Kato Saki with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 15.358 billion Watrfallans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hthrau. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Watrfallan economy, worth a remarkable 3,664 trillion ryous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 238,576 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, it takes several hours to shuffle the national deck, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterfall State's national animal is the bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Band Comptition.

Waterfall State is ranked 119,260^th in the world and 1,569^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,189.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
