The Parliamentary democracy of Wafornes is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Aurelius with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.35 billion Wafornesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ansgas. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Wafornesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion chrysoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 143,756 chrysoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newborn babies can only be discharged from maternity wards during daylight hours, one can wake up in Wafornes and have breakfast in Bigtopia, teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing", and teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wafornes's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wafornes is ranked 305,862^nd in the world and 5,674^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -9.27 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
