The Bandmastr of Waterfall State is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kato Saki with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 15.477 billion Watrfallans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hthrau. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Watrfallan economy, worth a remarkable 3,700 trillion ryous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 239,104 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, a soldier's body is a temple, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waterfall State's national animal is the bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Band Comptition.

Waterfall State is ranked 10,534^th in the world and 236^th in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 63.29 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
