The Empire of Walbard is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Carlisle I with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 31.485 billion Walbardians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walbard City. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walbardian economy, worth a remarkable 8,099 trillion Walbardian Viras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 257,251 Walbardian Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Emperor Carlisle I's military council has been nicknamed 'The Knights of the Rotund Table', dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and a degree in Emperor Carlisle I Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Walbard's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Walbard is ranked 89,648th in the world and 17th in The Empire of Walbard for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,078.33 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
