The First Successful Operation of Watershed Telemetry is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by RKD with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.573 billion Watermongers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Public Transport and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bay of Whispers. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The thriving Telemetric economy, worth 87.4 trillion raffle tickets a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,565 raffle tickets, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government employees cannot vote for the policies they have to implement, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, children keel over while singing "RKD Gives Us the Water of Life", and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Watershed Telemetry's national animal is the dragonfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Watershed Telemetry is ranked 309,014^th in the world and 5,675^th in eta for Smartest Citizens, with 0.94 quips per hour.
