The Scalers of Waage-Libra is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Scaly with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.131 billion Waage-Librans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libraville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Waage-Libran economy, worth 767 trillion Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,616 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

You can be fired for dyeing grey hairs, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, everybody's got wood thanks to Scaly, and there's more than one way to skin a diplomat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waage-Libra's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Waage-Libra is ranked 46,648th in the world and 6th in Zodiac Signs for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,056.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
