The Black Holy Dominion of Wall Street District is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jeanine Matthews with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 5.438 billion Americans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Wall Street Districtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,676 trillion Gold Bars and USDS 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 492,094 Gold Bars and USDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Wall Street District's national animal is the Vampire Bull Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Belial - Lord of Lies.

Wall Street District is ranked 3,375th in the world and 8th in The Financial District of New York for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 9,157.04 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
