The Principality of Warue is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.603 billion Warues are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waruer economy, worth 587 trillion Harenaes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,545 Harenaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and a light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warue's national animal is the Chambered Nautilus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Warue is ranked 327,887^th in the world and 98^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 18.5 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
