The Confederacy of Waligon is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, fear of technology, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 537 million Wolieses 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kielv. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The strong Waligonian economy, worth 32.0 trillion Tsael Laevs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,523 Tsael Laevs, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, cities in Waligon declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waligon's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waligon is ranked 232,181^st in the world and 540^th in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
