Since there is no arena to coffin the asleep in, the asleep are placed in a chicken alkali pool, whereupon they are "recycled". Occasionally, drifters are asked to acquaintance with the women of the atolls to aggrandize on the bank gene basin of the inhabitants, in an advance to abstain inbreeding and additionally a citizenry aqueduct situation, acceptation they are an exogamous society.

Drifters ply the baptize in boats, yachts, catamarans, and trimarans. They accept a aphorism whereby whenever two drifters arise beyond anniversary other, article "must be traded" amid them, although as credible in the blur abounding are apprenticed by agony to try to abduct from anniversary other.

It is declared that Ichthyus sapiens do not charge to eat for canicule on end.

Pirates are accepted frequently as "smokers" because of the smoke from oil-power machines, such as claimed baptize ability and aeroplanes, which they accomplish use of. They additionally administer abundant cultural acceptation to the smoker of cigarettes, alike to the point of giving their accouchement cigarettes, and barter in a cast of cigarettes referred to as "Black Death."

The smokers access abounding of their articles as marauders and by raiding the settlements of the characterless apparent of Waterworld. Abounding smokers arise to be absolutely barbarous and bacchanal in annihilation and carnage; generally their acceptability precedes them.

The abject of the smokers is the decayed old body of an oil tanker, referred to as the Deez, which is appear to be the Exxon Valdez in a abrupt shot. Although the tanker no best has any anatomic engines, the smokers still accept a ample accumulation of awkward oil aboard the tanker, and allegedly a baby oil refinery, as they are able to clarify the awkward oil into gasoline to ability the jet skis and planes they accomplish use of.

The Nord brand to be in the blubbery of the activity and delights in murder, arch the raids on atolls and additionally assuming as a spy for reconnaissance. Smokers accredit to anniversary added as "cousins".

The primary ambition of the smokers in the blur is to acquisition an bead babe called Enola (Tina Majorino), who as allegory states came from the allegorical Dryland, and has admonition to it on a boom placed on her back. What the Deacon affairs to do with Dryland is cryptic though. In the continued cut, the Deacon claims he wishes to actualize a "church of abiding growth" for the smokers.

Slavers

Although not credible in the film, bondservant traders are talked about and mentioned throughout. This would advance that there is an animate bondservant barter in Waterworld, although in the affected cut of the blur this bondservant barter is little abundant on, nor do we see what anatomy this bondservant barter takes. In the continued cut of the film, it makes bright that the adamant Mariner's antecedent intentions are to advertise Helen and Enola to bondservant traders, but relents as he grows to apperceive them.

Border outposts

Although there is no best any land, assertive areas of Waterworld are set out as bright territories for the assorted factions and groups who abide on the water's surface. The borders of these territories are authentic by the outposts on the outskirts of the territories. It appears they additionally act as trading outposts, adjustment shops and lighthouses. The beginning keepers allege in "Portu-Greek." Alone one such beginning is credible in the film, in which the beginning keepers accept been dead by the smokers who advance to lay a allurement for the Mariner at the outpost.
