The Band's Farewell Concert of The Last Waltz is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Robbie Robertson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.505 billion Last Waltzians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toronto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Last Waltzian economy, worth a remarkable 7,277 trillion Canadian Bands a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 285,342 Canadian Bands, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 872,990 per year while the poor average 72,242, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account, pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Last Waltz's national animal is the Bob Dylan Supporting Cast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

The Last Waltz is ranked 162,142nd in the world and 627th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
