The Republic of Walchia is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.766 billion Walchians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alba - Regia. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Walchian economy, worth 591 trillion Cosons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,587 Cosons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, skateparks can be found in every city, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walchia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Walchia is ranked 34,126^th in the world and 2,226^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
