The Republic of WayPointe is a massive, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.365 billion WayPointeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient WayPointean economy, worth 49.4 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,164 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. WayPointe's national animal is the crocodile.

WayPointe is ranked 244,249^th in the world and 7^th in The Great Universe for Nicest Citizens, with 6.84 average smiles per day.
