The Republic of Walloonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Pierce with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.076 billion Walloonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aberystwyth. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walloonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,326 trillion ceiniogs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,452 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walloonia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Brythonic paganism.

Walloonia is ranked 28,460^th in the world and 585^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,584.56 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
