The Jingoistic States of Warstraw is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 868 million Warstrawians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Warstrawian economy, worth 50.2 trillion Wars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,832 Wars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, domestic cruise ships fly the Warstrawian flag out of fear of being blown up, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Warstraw, and tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warstraw's national animal is the Oliphaunt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Warstraw is ranked 152,691^st in the world and 77^th in The Ninth Army for Most Developed, scoring 55.81 on the Human Development Index.
