The Republic of Walloon is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.57 billion Walloons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Walloon economy, worth 89.4 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,967 francs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,109 per year while the poor average 10,581, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Walloon's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Walloon is ranked 260,598^th in the world and 6^th in French for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
