The Autocratic Empire of Walfo is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Neil the II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.25 billion Walfonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperious. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Walfoan economy, worth 888 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,164 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, and surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walfo's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Walfo is ranked 92,550^th in the world and 618^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,601.88 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
