The Holy Empire of Winter Waldorff is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.8 billion Winter Waldorffians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Winter Waldorffian economy, worth 96.1 trillion Gold Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,398 Gold Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, some of the country's most famous photographers are animals, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", and the last thing Winter Waldorffian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winter Waldorff's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Winter Waldorff is ranked 80,663^rd in the world and 18^th in Testregionia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 37,591.5 Standard Monetary Units.
