The Republic of Wall of Cake 353 is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 217 million Wall of Cake 353ians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Wall of Cake 353ian economy, worth 2.15 trillion walls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,918 walls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wall of Cake 353's national animal is the cake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wall of Cake 353 is ranked 219,708^th in the world and 1^st in Universal Christ Alliance for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
