The Republic of Walloonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Pierce with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.081 billion Walloonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aberystwyth. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walloonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion ceiniogs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,452 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walloonia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Brythonic paganism.

Walloonia is ranked 113,437^th in the world and 2,000^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,318.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
