The Matriarchy of Waveworld is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and hatred of cheese. The devout population of 1.222 billion Waveworldians 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, moralistic government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lake Wave. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Waveworldian economy, worth 42.5 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,792 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of Waveworld has been announced as the new Head of State, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waveworld's national animal is the shark, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Waveworld is ranked 205,838^th in the world and 24^th in The Wave Experience for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.56 percentage of bribes refused.
