The Fiefdom of Waelkyrim is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.554 billion Waelkyrimians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.0%.

The Waelkyrimian economy, worth 393 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,031 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,830 per year while the poor average 16,298, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, political shows are fit for purpose, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waelkyrim's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Waelkyrim is ranked 77,097th in the world and 1,790th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.14718954332 days.
