The Yugoslav Dictator of Lower Columbian WA Mission is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Helge Torlakson with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.704 billion Lower Columbians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Office 1715. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lower Columbian economy, worth a remarkable 2,360 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,747 crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, babies are a small but significant export, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lower Columbian WA Mission's national animal is the geoduck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lower Columbian WA Mission is ranked 18,108^th in the world and 3^rd in nasunia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 296.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
