The Republic of WayPointe is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.884 billion WayPointeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong WayPointean economy, worth 117 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,110 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, most ruble coins are riddled with bite marks, fishing crews are regularly interrogated by surprisingly violent environmentalists, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. WayPointe's national animal is the crocodile.

WayPointe is ranked 203,852^nd in the world and 6^th in The Great Universe for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 30.85 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
