The Empire of Walbard is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Carlisle I with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 31.348 billion Walbardians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walbard City. The average income tax rate is 7.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walbardian economy, worth a remarkable 8,012 trillion Walbardian Viras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 255,598 Walbardian Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Smoking is banned in public areas, it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Walbard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Walbard's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Walbard is ranked 5,843rd in the world and 5th in The Empire of Walbard for Highest Average Incomes, with 255,598.65 Standard Monetary Units.
