The Most Serene Republic of Wu-wei is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 915 million Wu-weians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wu-weian economy, worth 88.8 trillion qis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,014 qis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, and copyright laws have been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wu-wei's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wu-wei is ranked 313,242^nd in the world and 1,497^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -12.65 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
