The Republic of Warenton is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.777 billion Warentonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Warentonian economy, worth 67.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,910 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, organ donation is compulsory, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the weather in Warenton City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warenton's national animal is the eagle.

Warenton is ranked 123,886^th in the world and 1^st in prog for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
