The State of Wall Thumper is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 37.241 billion Wall Thumpers 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Wall Thumperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,845 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 49,565 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,624 per year while the poor average 5,671, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, Wall Thumper has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Wall Thumper in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Wall Thumper's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wall Thumper is ranked 64,535^th in the world and 185^th in State for Largest Black Market, with 7.73 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
