The Autocratic Empire of Walfo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Neil the II with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.616 billion Walfonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperious. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Walfoan economy, worth 742 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,798 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, electricians spend more time in school than doctors, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walfo's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Walfo is ranked 50,456^th in the world and 169^th in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 27.22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
