The Black and White Borderlands of Waerplaend is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pandemos with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 14.067 billion Waerpen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 84.4%.
The all-consuming Waerp economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion monds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 83,394 monds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waerplaend's national animal is the blue-eyed penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Carbonism.
Waerplaend is ranked 9,898th in the world and 2nd in Akbaria for Most Stationary, with 2,364.57860472428 days.
