The Freedom Dictatorship of Wera-aut is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Abrican with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.93 billion Werausinos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ran-Mantarant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Werausino economy, worth 206 trillion Weraas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 106,739 Weraas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 552,127 per year while the poor average 11,210, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.

Schoolchildren's "what I did on my holidays" essays tend to be somewhat homogeneous, billions are being spent on a new island airport, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wera-aut's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Scientific Atheism.

Wera-aut is ranked 272,546^th in the world and 223^rd in Thaecia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.53 average smiles per day.
