The Republic of Walloonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Pierce with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.163 billion Walloonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aberystwyth. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walloonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion ceiniogs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,581 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walloonia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Brythonic paganism.

Walloonia is ranked 25,692^nd in the world and 612^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 242.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
