The Grenzländer of The Walden Frontier is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by König Fredrick Ludvig IV with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 39.16 billion Grenzländers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waldenburg. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Grenzländer economy, worth a remarkable 2,444 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 62,424 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, refugees from other nations are flocking to The Walden Frontier's border, retired racing White Eagles are served truffles for breakfast, and The Walden Frontier has designated Waldenburg as its capital city. Crime is relatively low. The Walden Frontier's national animal is the White Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Walden Frontier is ranked 100,245^th in the world and 9^th in Germany for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 96.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
