The Republic of East Wali is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ethan Lunther with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 3.156 billion East Walians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Walisia City. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Walian economy, worth 652 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 206,721 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the East Walian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Wali's national animal is the Molasi-Malaya Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Wali is ranked 65,950^th in the world and 1,512^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 21.36 flags saluted per person per day.
