The Republic of Walloon-Ardennes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Amandine Pavet with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.482 billion Walloon-Ardennesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nameur. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Walloon-Ardennesian economy, worth 67.3 trillion sinses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,393 sinses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walloon-Ardennes's national animal is the wild boar and rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Walloon-Ardennes is ranked 245,765^th in the world and 5,078^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -108.11 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
