The Republic of Walloonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Pierce with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.145 billion Walloonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aberystwyth. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walloonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,308 trillion ceiniogs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,581 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walloonia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Brythonic paganism.

Walloonia is ranked 67,917^th in the world and 1,809^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
