“Glory to Waldorff”

Overview • Map • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Empire of King Waldorff is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.138 billion King Waldorffians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The frighteningly efficient King Waldorffian economy, worth 453 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,446 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, black gold is looking more brown these days, and loading sixteen tons of laundry gets you another year older and deeper in debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. King Waldorff's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

King Waldorff is ranked 52,477^th in the world and 15^th in One big Island for Highest Poor Incomes, with 53,578.44 Standard Monetary Units.
