The Federal Military Republic of South Waterford is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by General Harman Teasedale with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 15.245 billion Waterfordians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potsdam. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient South Waterfordian economy, worth a remarkable 2,245 trillion Vyrkar Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,278 Vyrkar Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military has gone fission for more funding, the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Waterford's national animal is the Chinese Pug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Holy Light.
South Waterford is ranked 14,268th in the world and 8th in Union of Allied States for Highest Food Quality, scoring 138.18 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
