The Most Serene Republic of Walacan Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme President with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.715 billion Walacan Republicians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunker City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Walacan Republician economy, worth 644 trillion Walacan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,712 Walacan Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 496,170 per year while the poor average 26,828, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.
The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Walacan Republician democracy, the government is lending a hand to private industry, it turns out you can teach cats new tricks, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walacan Republic's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Walacan Republic is ranked 16,311th in the world and 2nd in Commonwealth of Idiots for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 71,910.91 Standard Monetary Units.
