The Greater Bourg of Walatio is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zyrod I of Xjristof with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.435 billion Walatioans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wulvén. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Walatioan economy, worth 124 trillion Táqes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,293 Táqes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Walatio to be bombproof, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walatio's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Phionnerism.

Walatio is ranked 49,247^th in the world and 44^th in Iris for Safest, scoring 102.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
