The Nation of Wanapitei is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.63 billion Wanapiteians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Wanapiteian economy, worth 394 trillion Wanapiteian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,086 Wanapiteian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", politicians live in luxury, students abandon classrooms for online education, and the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners. Crime is almost non-existent. Wanapitei's national animal is the Black Goose.

Wanapitei is ranked 258,484^th in the world and 1,331^st in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
