The Republic of Walloonia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Pierce with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.877 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 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walloonian economy, worth 946 trillion ceiniogs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,666 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. 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 18,038^th in the world and 547^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 66.57 quips per hour.
