=== Planetary Description ===
 
During the [[thirty-first century]] the bulk of the planetary population lived on New Wisconsin, with a much smaller population living on Little Florida Island. The other three continents on Wapakoneta were left uninhabited. The local economy was largely based around exporting aquaculture-grown marine life, although the planet had many small, beautiful islands that could have generated a valuable tourism industry if not for Wapakoneta's perilous location on the border between the Draconis Combine and [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=OTPDtM5/>

=== Geography ===
 
Wapakoneta has five large continents and many islands scattered through the large freshwater seas that cover most of its surface. The largest continent, New Wisconsin, is located on the equator and is covered in forests. Little Florida Island is the smallest continent and it is also the one located furthest away from the equator; most of the island is covered in glaciers. The remaining three continents are scattered across the planet's surface and are subject to massive typhoons that whip across them constantly.<ref name=OTPDtM5/>
