The Edel ridder vercoren of Walewein is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 5.237 billion rudders are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish ridderlike economy, worth 131 trillion eres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 25,192 eres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walewein's national animal is the gringolet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Walewein is ranked 201,008^th in the world and 1^st in The Evil Land of Wordpress for Largest Black Market, with 480 billion Standard Monetary Units.
