The Confederacy of Waligon is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its fear of technology, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 314 million Wolieses 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kielv. The average income tax rate is 20.3%.

The strong Waligonian economy, worth 19.4 trillion Tsael Laevs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,939 Tsael Laevs, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waligon's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waligon is ranked 134,408^th in the world and 704^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,097.72 Standard Monetary Units.
