The Shadowslands of the of Walhalla Temple is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Warlock de Vries with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.456 billion Deamonwalkers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asshai. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Walhalla Templean economy, worth a remarkable 3,407 trillion The Gold Spiders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 527,771 The Gold Spiders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the nation is United Earth Government's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Walhalla Temple's national animal is the The Black Basilisk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Call of Cthulhu.

Walhalla Temple is ranked 1,206^th in the world and 9^th in United Earth Government for Largest Black Market, with 5,428 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
