The Authoritarian Empire of Wamia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Roi Wamiana with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.572 billion Wamians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willisopholis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Wamian economy, worth 684 trillion Wamian Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 191,722 Wamian Kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 858,898 per year while the poor average 26,495, a ratio of 32.4 to 1.

The nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, and claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wamia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wamian Catholicism.

Wamia is ranked 5,230^th in the world and 43^rd in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 220.58 kickbacks per hour.
