The United States of Waladis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by O5 Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.299 billion Waladisians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Waladisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,279 trillion Wadinoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 201,717 Wadinoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 585,886 per year while the poor average 54,973, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.
Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, the military will start wars with other nations on a lark, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, and randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waladis's national animal is the SCP, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is warlordism.
Waladis is ranked 69,459th in the world and 2nd in Sol 8 for Most Stationary, with 676.2532824754 days.
