The United States of Walter Jackson is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.394 billion Walter Jacksonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Walter Jacksonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,644 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,187 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Much of Walter Jackson's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walter Jackson's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christian.

Walter Jackson is ranked 244,312^th in the world and 9,411^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.13 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
