The People's Republic of Washoia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 519 million Washoians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tahoe. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Washoian economy, worth 30.7 trillion Washoian Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,159 Washoian Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Washoian Coin mansions, citizens try to ignore gruesome pictures of decaying teeth printed on their soda cans, and purported secret military bases are dismissed by Leader to be highly-advanced toilet factories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Washoia's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Washoia is ranked 43,195^th in the world and 2,396^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
