The Holy Empire of West Waldorff is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 1.716 billion West Waldorffians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.2%.

The thriving West Waldorffian economy, worth 152 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,634 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,736 per year while the poor average 18,079, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, practically perfect royal toddlers tend to say "regrettably not at this juncture" rather than "no", and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Waldorff's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Waldorff is ranked 42,962^nd in the world and 6^th in Edoca for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,637.96 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
