The State of Walfischbucht is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.38 billion Walfischbuchtens are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The very strong Walfischbuchtian economy, worth 747 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 26,348 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and Walfischbucht has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Walfischbucht's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Walfischbucht is ranked 159,833^rd in the world and 7^th in Washington DC for Most Primitive, scoring -59.58 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
