The Chosen Undead of Astrid Weisberg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Abigail Williams with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.244 billion Valenerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salem. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Valeneran economy, worth a remarkable 3,065 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 299,277 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and economic planning is exalted as a human art form. Crime is totally unknown. Astrid Weisberg's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Astrid Weisberg is ranked 312,438th in the world and 1st in Memento Mori for Most Primitive, scoring -597.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
