The Rogue Nation of Uwak is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, feral children, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 513 million Uwakians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crow Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Uwakian economy, worth 57.6 trillion Uwak-aks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,187 Uwak-aks, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is proudly free of crabs, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uwak's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uwak is ranked 272,810th in the world and 80th in The Invaders for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
