The State of Death Walking is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.516 billion Death Walkers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The very strong Death Walkingian economy, worth 740 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 30,197 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and Death Walking has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Death Walking's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Death Walking is ranked 255,367^th in the world and 3^rd in Freetown for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
