The Republic of Watemond Tri is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 465 million Watemond Trians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Watemond Trian economy, worth 8.10 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,427 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, several inches are being added to first class seating, and Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Watemond Tri's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Watemond Tri is ranked 236,812^th in the world and 5,612^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 359.51 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
