The Empire of Walbard is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Carlisle I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 31.512 billion Walbardians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walbard City. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walbardian economy, worth a remarkable 8,116 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 257,552 Walbardian Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, and nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Walbardian surveillance. 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 251,499^th in the world and 26^th in The Empire of Walbard for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.32 percentage of bribes refused.
