The Confederacy of Waligon is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 485 million Wolieses are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kielv. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The strong Waligonian economy, worth 28.9 trillion Tsael Laevs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,523 Tsael Laevs, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, cities in Waligon declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waligon's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waligon is ranked 106,755^th in the world and 462^nd in Europe for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,439.67 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
