The Terrible swift sword of Idlers and Waisters is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 22.539 billion Idlers and Waistersians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 27.5%.

The thriving Idlers and Waistersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,980 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idlers and Waisters's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Idlers and Waisters is ranked 232,274^th in the world and 1^st in Bora Bora for Safest, scoring 22.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
