The Technocratic Shogunate of Waterfall State is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Shogun William Adams II with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.216 billion Waterfalleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haneda Secundus. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Waterfallean economy, worth a remarkable 2,255 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 220,807 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. 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 cockatiel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Northern Temples.

Waterfall State is ranked 11,462^nd in the world and 245^th in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,050.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
