The Aquatic Blue State of Waterstania is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Magnus Coralis with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 989 million Oceanids 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oceania. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oceanid economy, worth 202 trillion Cubic Miles of Water a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,861 Cubic Miles of Water, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money grows on trees, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, it's said that Grand Marshal Magnus Coralis can turn every pleasure into a chore, and taking a walk on the wild side is punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterstania's national animal is the Aquamarine Coral, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Waterstania is ranked 4,367^th in the world and 4^th in Karma for Most Patriotic, with 87.12 flags saluted per person per day.
