The Last Stand of War Weary is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Achilles with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.481 billion War Wearyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ptsd. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient War Wearyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,382 trillion Poppy Seeds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 213,961 Poppy Seeds, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. War Weary's national animal is the Skeleton, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is MacArthurism.

War Weary is ranked 281,264th in the world and 5th in War Weary for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 26.36 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
