The Ancient Baptist Republic of New Waldensia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Peter Waldo with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.315 billion New Waldensians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valdenton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient New Waldensian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion Lollards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,937 Lollards, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Most people learn to drive on crash courses, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, and there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Waldensia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Credobaptist Christianity.

New Waldensia is ranked 25,136^th in the world and 21^st in Republic of Conservative Nations for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 5,833.82 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
