The Commonwealth of Parasites Wake is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.271 billion Parasites Wakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Parasites Wakean economy, worth 51.0 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 40,153 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,791 per year while the poor average 2,517, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Parasites Wake's national animal is the Llama, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
