The Yuletide Amblings of Walkabout is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Patrick Safford with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, flagrant waste-dumping, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.819 billion Walkers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandurah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Walker economy, worth 809 trillion gold-pressed latinums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 211,883 gold-pressed latinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 688,107 per year while the poor average 49,193, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the horniness of the great-horned Easter Bunny is considered a national priority, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime is totally unknown. Walkabout's national animal is the Easter Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Septarianism.

Walkabout is ranked 5,869th in the world and 24th in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 93.71 on the Human Development Index.
